Vehicle Description
To Be Auctioned Off No-Reserve Beginning on Sept. 19th. Estimate
$85,000 - $95,000. Here is an opportunity of a lifetime! This is an
original Ford Falcon 500 XB Coupe VIN # JG65RC67417K with a factory
4 speed and 302 Cleveland. The donor car was purchased through Mad
Max Cars who imported it from Australia to Canada. Most of the
restoration work was done by The Rod Factory. Very rare and
desirable car even without the Mad Max upgrades! Because of the
rareness of the Aussie Ford required to build a Mad Max car, the
replica's are nearly non-existent. It cost over $100k and 7 years
to restore and build. I have a 3 ring binder that totals $115,000
in receipts as well as a full photo album of restoration photos
showing the car being stripped down to nothing but a bare shell.
Everything on this car was rebuilt including all the gauges,
wiring, brakes, engine, transmission, etc. The Australian 302C
block was stroked to a 351C. It has 10:1 forged pistons, balanced,
351C heads, 0.030 bore and a mild cam. It drives like a new car! It
has a show quality paint over a rust free body that was stripped
bare before repaint. It had an independent appraisal done in 2010
and was graded a 2A, which is just shy of a trailer queen. It was
appraised at that time at $109,000 and has only has less than a
couple hundred miles and has been stored indoors since.
We purchased the car in 2012 and have been displaying it in the
museum since and never had intentions to sell. We've even turned
down several handsome offers. However, we recently acquired a Road
Warrior version Mad Max car and decided to display that one because
of the additional props unique to the Road Warrior car giving our
guests more to look at. Our Part 1 car is higher quality
restoration and unlike the Road Warrior version, is user friendly
with 4 seats, a full interior and is weather tight with full
windows. If we did not have the Road Warrior car, this one would
not be for sale!
There is only 1 original, screen used, Mad Max car. It is owned by
a very wealthy individual and is not for sale at any price. Here is
your opportunity to own the next best thing. Spread sheet of
receipts and restoration photos available upon request. Auctioned
off to the highest on-line bidder beginning September 19th For more
