'Mad Max: Fury Road's' Landmark Cars Are Going to Auction

In 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road was the talk of the town. With leads Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, the fourth film in the series was a hit (even if it didn’t seem to fit quite right alongside its three predecessors). Now, the beast-like hodgepodge vehicles from the movie are up for grabs, with Lloyds overseeing the auction of these landmark desert vehicles.

Owning movie memorabilia is a pastime in which many partake, and for those who do so in the cars and drives category will be pleased to learn of this once-in-lifetime chance.

Because the vision of George Miller is so apocalyptic, these cars are monsters, complete with rough edges that warn onlookers to stay away. Of all the vehicles that will be auctioned, the iconic Doof Wagon has perhaps captured the most attention to date.

Max Rockatansky’s 1973 XB Falcon Coupe, more famously known as the Razor Cola, will also be available. In production, it was referred to as Caltrop #6. Clearance that lands high above the ground make it a fun off-road option that looks tough at every turn.

What else is on the auction block? A little browsing reveals the Gigahorse which was constructed with Cadillac Coupe de Villes as its base. The remaining lots present options ranging from 1930s Chevy coupes to old Pontiac trucks. There are 13 items in all.

The vehicles are for sale in Australia where they should be inspected before being deemed road ready. Since the rides were used in an action film, buyers shouldn’t assume they’ll be in the best condition without restoration work, especially six years after the fact.

The Mad Max films depict George Miller and Byron Kennedy’s brainchild action film with a post-apocalyptic storyline. It took off in 1979 with Mad Max, leading to a slew of sequels including 1981’s Mad Max 2 (or The Road Warrior).
