Can't remember the year but it must have been 83/84 i think as to get to the destination my mum had to drive me and my friends, i didn't have a license. My friends who knew of this destination were older but their only transport was a two wheeled machine so the four of us needed a car so mum took us. We were on our way to see BoB and i couldn't wait. This was one of them days that you can't believe will ever happen. We roll up at wreckers yard at Upper Sturt, it was a yard on a corner block. The owner lived in a house across the road and after chatting and asking if we can see the car from Mad Max he tells us to meet him across the the road at the yard but not go in he'll bring Bob out for us. This was all just mind blowing for a 15 year old that i was. So he opens the gate and we wait out the side, then we hear the rumble of that V8 coming from somewhere in that yard..
The owner drove the Pursuit Special out and allowed us to take pictures. It was in fantastic condition the only real blemish was the blower hat had caved in just a bit on top. Wow this was the actual car from Mad Max. Taking a line from Fury Road, oh what day, what a lovely day..
I seen what became of the car after it was purchased and personally i would have preferred it to have remained as it was when i seen it rather than what was done to it. Fix the hat sure but the rest was in pretty good nick still really. - BoB01.JPG (57.22 KiB) Viewed 6886 times
