Its the Project 500 Jet Car from 1972, powered by a Rolls Royce jet engine. Built to take the Australian Land Speed Record, it never fulfilled its potential thanks to unseasonal
rain but did run 378 miles an hour in testing.
here it is at Motorclassica 2012 (Melbourne) http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/rolls_royce/3462119.jpg
It sold at the same show in 2013 for a measly $15,000 AUD.
Because we know what it is, and the interest, I think it is worth adding.

antp wrote Indeed; how de we list that? As "Custom Made" I guess, as there is no known make?

marioman3138 wrote I'd call it Project 500 as the make maybe? or Custom Made "Project 500 Jet Car"?
Or even: 1974 Project 500 Jet-Car MKIII (C5B-08)
as it is listed here

You don't know how excited I am for this car to be listed. I noticed it the first time I watched Mad Max, and when I saw it in 2012, I was pretty sure it was the right car. Its took til now for me to get around to it. :whistle:

1974 Custom Made Project 500 Jet-Car MKIII (C5B-08)I think should be the name, going by the info I have come across. Project 500 was the name of the group who made it. No different to a one off sports car.

Scene was filmed at the Southern underground car park at the City of Melbourne University in Melbourne, Victoria.
