MAD MAX UNLIMITED
Description
Gordon Hayes was the first person to construct a personal use non-commercial replica of the black Interceptor. Gordon actually commenced work on his replica as far back as 1982. His historic meeting with the Melbourne mould maker Errol Platt one Saturday afternoon long ago set the stage for a Interceptor build that would take more than 15 years and the arrival of the internet before it reached it's final stages. However it was in this first meeting with Errol Platt back in 1982 that Gordon commissioned Errol to once again supply and fit the roof spoiler to a 2 door XB coupe. The roof spoiler on Gordon's car therefore came from the original Errol Platt mould used also to make the roof spoiler on the real Mad Max movie Interceptor.
Gordon constructed the Pursuit Special replica and then set about spending time living a small part of the Mad Max dream. Back in the 1980's Gordon would travel far from the cities and crowds to run the Interceptor at high speed on the empty desert roads. By the mid 1980's Gordon had already been making regular visits to the outback locations made famous by the "Roadwarrior" filming. So before the internet was even thought of and before there was any acceptance of his Pursuit special replica, Gordon was traveling the empty Australian outback roads at over 100 MPH just as often as he could.
In those early days the replica was minus the famous Monza nose section. It was only after Gordon moved to Perth and linked up with Grant Hodgson that the final act of the Interceptor reconstruction came together.
