Anyone remember Mad Max's blown black Falcon? awesome car.. and I saw it in real life a few years back, someone has restored it completely exact number plates and all. I only wish I had my camera on me at the time.

This was an alright movie, but the grande finale car is one I've been lusting over for a long time....
1967 Ford Mustang Fastback aka "Eleanor" (Gone in 60 Seconds)

I met the original restorer of the Mad Max XB!
He got me to deactivate and modify a Boito coachgun.
To make it legal (back then) we welded up the firing pins and breach. Took out all the firing mechanism, except the trigger and its return spring. Then had to drill holes in the chambers!
It was total overkill!
By the time I got through with it, not only could it never fire again, but if somehow you managed it would have simply disintegrated!
Speaking of overkill, last time I saw that car the interior was immaculate and it had a new paint job.
It was all shiny and new!
Inside and out!
Kinda spoilt the look and feel of a post apocalyptic car!
Last of the V8 interceptors, Piece of history...
Be a shame to blow it up!

I was going to mention this but you beat me to it.

Oh yeah, the Bluesmobile is definitely in the top 5 movie vehicles ever. When it falls apart at the end of the chase and Elwood just stares at it before they take off, it's as shocking and painful as any death scene.
