Looks like this was made based on the phrase "Pieces from here, pieces from there"
LTDHO = Supercharged Intercooled 5.7L 360rwkw, 6 speed

XB Coupe = Stock Fairmont GS with 351 and 4 speed.

But I really want a 600rwhp XB coupe!

riiight...
and the other 16 stunt cars didn't make it out of his ass unfortunately. Just this one, number 17. What a gem. For crying out loud, I guess the whole universe would implode if he saw Interceptor wreck. He didn't even get the blower right!

I'll be selling rust flakes and bits of panels that have been cut out of mine. You can sprinkle or attach these in your everyday vehicle and say it has bit of a mad max replica in it.
The auction will be on ebay :-)

Lol.....

We can all laugh about it but there are some people out there that actually own vehicles from films and movies and we shouldn't poke fun at them.
My Nan owned the USS enterprise for about 15 years. The real one.
Not a model and not even a lifesize replica, but the actual enterprise.
It was capable of warp speed and everything. She didn't fly it very often obviously as you would need like a hundred crew.
Parking was difficult too and it cost too much to register it each year.
Here is a picture of one time she touch-parked the mountain behind her house

I would show you more pictures but she has already traded it in for the millenium falcon.
Not a model and not even a lifesize replica of the millenium falcon, but the actual one..........blah blah. :lol:

Hey I have stunt car #00. I betcha you didn't even know about this one. It's a junk car made of pieces of Papagallo's helmet, some darts and wreck of the Landau. It was supposed to be Feral Kid's escape car in an early version of the script but they never filmed it cause he was sick. And Miller was too busy filming Batman Reloaded anyway. So I grabbed the car for a couple of bucks from a friendly gate keeper at RW set, drove it back home and kept it in the garage for 20 years. I think now is the time to unleash this unknown gem to the public. It was supposed to be in the movie.
Sorry I have to go now, it's pill time and I hate being late for that. They beat us with batons if we don't comply.
