If you're bummed you missed out on the $3.7 million sale of the Mustang GT 390 from the movie Bullitt, another iconic movie Ford will go up for sale soon, the Falcon XB that stood in for the last of the Interceptors in the Mad Max series. While the Falcon badge faded in the United States it has carried on for Ford Australia becoming a sought after collectible muscle car. Like the DeLorean time machine, the Mad Max Falcon Interceptor is tied forever to the early seventies Australian muscle car.

The current owner of the movie star hot rod is a car museum in Orlando. The collection was bought complete as the inventory of the Cars of the Stars display and shipped to Orlando and also included a Batmobile, a Delorean Time Machine, and a Miami Vice Ferrari. The museum is remodeling and some of the cars are being sold off.

Earlier this year there were some big name movie cars that crossed the auction block and a few grabbed headlines. The Eleanor used for the close up and driving shots was sold as well as Christine from the movie of the same name. The biggest headline grabber, however, was the sale of one of the two Mustang GT 390s from the movie Bullitt.

Thought Lost

Before the movie Mad Max and its sequels established their credentials as cultural touchstones, even spawning a yearly desert festival featuring home made Mad Max style cars called Wasteland, the car that was featured in the first movie's climax was considered lost until someone found it in a junkyard. It was altered for the even more apocalyptic Road Warrior and currently sits as a mix of both builds.
