Rumour has it that when they were subsequently re-discovered, and at that point they were in fact unfortunately then dismantled / destroyed, there being no likely future use for them at that time.

(Page seems to no longer be online, I will archive here in the future.)Īs a final note on these vehicles, it appears that after the promotion work for the film, they were not originally destroyed, but were in fact all put into storage - and apparently remained in storage untouched for many years, forgotten about. Vehicles on the transport train on their way to the set of Thunderdome, you Pictures which you'd like to add, please just contact There must be HEAPS of pictures of these aroundįrom these shows, so if anyone out there has any further information or additional Show in Sydney that year, and were probably also put on display at other I remember this as being odd atĪll of the non film pictures which I have onlineĬurrently are from the 1985 Melbourne Motor Show, where the vehicles were displayed. They were RWD, rather than FWD as in a Swift. The motors were definitely longitudinally mounted, so I guess Look at two of them, and they were powered by Suzuki 3 cylinder motors, ieįrom a Swift GA. Kevin, who saw the vehicles first hand at the Sydney Easter Show, offered the Landcruiser based vehicle I haven't had much more info on this, although someoneĮlse believed that some of the smaller buggies were apparently volkswagon based. Only the basic shells of the original vehicles. Many of the custom vehicles were scratch built, using

The car towards the end of the movie where all the lost kids and max climb in the boot is a 1959 Chrysler Royal.

Max's vehicle - probably an F150 based truck. There is a sub-page for that specific vehicle). Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Vehicles Vehicle listing: The more we think about it, this kind of fierce bidding is full-on appropriate to buy one of the cars from. Bidders will also only have two days to submit their bids-September 25 and 26-and they will never see what other people offer.
Instead, the vehicles are being sold as a tender, which means prospective buyers submit sealed bids and the seller will simply choose the winning amount from among the submissions. This isn't your typical auction where people bid one another up. The film's release date was recently pushed back to 2024 instead of summer 2023.Īt this point, none of the actions have a minimum bid listed, and we may never know what they end up selling for, either. The new film will focus on the back story for Imperator Furiosa, the role played by Charlize Theron in. It's a good time to be auctioning off these vehicles, too, since there's news buzzing around about the prequel that director George Miller is working on. There's also a hot-rodded version of a 1932 Chevrolet coupe and a Ford F-250 outfitted with a huge claw on the back that was called the Sabre Tooth, and more, including the Doof Wagon (top), perhaps the most iconic of all the vehicles thanks to countless speakers and the Doof himself. The vehicles run the gamut from the massive War Rig tanker truck to the modified 1973 XB Ford Falcon coupe called the Razor Cola. For example, in explaining what the War Rig tanker is all about, the auction house writes: "Mutant lovechild of semi-trailer and hot rod, twin V8s end to end, six-wheel-drive, eighteen-wheeled leviathan charged with the barter of fluids and firearms that binds the three city-states of the Wasteland in tenuous alliance." For the Jag Flamer convoy car, the auction listing description reads: "The sandblasted and shiny chassis speaks of construction once upon a time in GasTown, but it has now found fame as part of Furiosa's convoy: such is recycling in the shifting sands of the Wasteland." The company running the auction, Lloyds Auctioneers and Valuers, fully understands what it's selling here, getting into character for the item descriptions.
