    So For all those that have seen mad max. And know of the Falcon XB which was Ford Australia Specific. The body lines are strikingly similiar. So I guess wouldn't it be cool if... (oh no) the front clip could be transplaned to a mav?
    Smooth out that crease in the side of the Mav and i think it would work. Just throwin it out there.

    though maxs front clip(which is way cooler) would make a sick mav too.

    Cool car... I also think the door handles would look good transplanted onto a mav/comet....

    That would be allot of fabrication, the aussie falcon is about the same size as the torino, they are some big cars.

    I like! But it does look much bigger than the maverick.

    I REALLY like that MOPAR-looking front clip A BUNCH!!! :thumbs2:

    That car has Torino "hips". Definitely based on a Torino.

    My dad had a 351 Grand Torino when I was growing up. First car I learned to drive. I loved it! He hated it. and got rid of it.

    I would really like to find that car and do something with it. Greenish-gold car, with the big white Starsky and Hutch stripe.

    Definately has the lines of a Grand Torino Sport in back, with a Plymouth 'Cuda style front end.

    It works

    i love that car, i would definitively own one of those if i could, it's like they took the mustang "milano" concept http://www.themustangsource.com/concept/milano/Milano-01.jpg
    and just changed the name and sent it down under, and instead ford left us with the mach 1, which IMHO, is not as good looking as the aussie falcon, those lucky :badwords:

    Not officially, but if you compare it to the falcon you'll see they're too much alike.
