Mad Max
This car was originally customised by a young man called Murray Smith. A
film company executive spotted it on his driveway and thought it would make
an ideal vehicle for a new film being produced: "Mad Max". The car was purchased
and Murray was given a job on the film as mechanic. With further modifications
the car was used in the original film and in its sequel. |
On completion of the films the car was destined for scrap, having sustained
some frontal damage, but was saved by scrap dealer Ray Evans. He later sold
the car to Bob Fursenko who spent a vast sum restoring the car. Cars of the
Stars purchased the cars and is proud to own the most famous Australian car,
featuring in the most famous Australian film, driven by the most famous
Australian actor Mel Gibson.
