The Melbourne Hot Rod Show
Exhibition Buildings
January, 1979

As part of the promotion for Mad Max, the interceptor was toured at various car shows, shopping malls, car dealerships and so on. Of course this was before the film's release, so many who saw the car had no idea what to make of it, or what the film was all about. Fortunately though some people snapped some pictures anyway, and I owe a BIG thankyou to Howard Nessen for providing the pictures shown below.

Mad Max Interceptor, Left Hand Side, Melbourne Hot Rod Show, 1979

Mad Max Interceptor, Left Hand Rear, Melbourne Hot Rod Show, 1979

Mad Max Interceptor, Left Hand Front, Melbourne Hot Rod Show, 1979

Note that at this stage the car has already been re-registered for standard road use, hence the removal of the blower set up, and the modification of the side exhausts. Also note Goose's bike on display in the background.

Undoubtedly there are many more pictures out there from other car shows and displays, so if you know where they are, please contact me, and send them on in!
