I hadn't heard about this until I had an urge to look at magazines at the grocery store the other day.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Mr. Cameron Evans himself(I think thats his name) claimed a few years ago that such a car wouldn't EVER appear in the pages of PHR cause it wasn't "hip". There is even a discussion on the old Yahoo Groups about it.

I guess "someone" told him differently.

TAKE THAT CAM.

Perhaps it's a Tie-In to that one movie that ain't gonna be made.

We could only hope...and shove it in Cam's face...

Hot Rod however did have the Starsky and Hutch Gran Tornio on the cover.

I'll have to pick this issue up if I can to see who wrote the article.

TO quote PHR on their web page..

"The police equipment inside, from the radio on the roof to the blue light mounted to the dash, are genuine mid-'70s police-spec Australian stuff."

I dont know where they got that from... Maxs' police radio certainly wasnt real..and that style of Police light certainly was not used here in Australia in the 70s.

I think they are referring to how movie correct the car is to the movie car, I know this because the replica in question is mine. No matter ,at least the mags are starting to pay attention. This is mostly in part that cameron evans isnt making the final call anymore.Thank god

The one with the red 65 fastback Mustang on the cover.

Plus largish letters saying "Mad Max Interceptor"

I'll post up Month, issue number & such in an hour or two.

Magazine is in my office & I'm at home..
