Close Enough Interceptor (BUILD)

[Baldwinvette77]

So i wondered around the junkyard (i posted earlier about it) and while others were hunting for parts, i was thinking..... "Which one of these are buildable"

Thats when out of the corner my eye i saw this thing....



I never saw a fastback torino before, so at first i thought i saw an australian Ford falcon coupe (theres a decent amount of vintage imports in the yard).. then i looked inside, noticed it was american and eventually a torino.

i came home, showed the pictures to an Australian friend i know online, And she also thought "Mad Max" so. i thought about it and realized.. I have all the parts i could ever want at my disposal to build an american version of the V8 Interceptor so i paid 100$ bought the shell, then got an s10 chassis, a mach 1 stang front clip and doors a semi truck fuel cel, a 71 ford galixie tail panel etc....

And althought its minimal, i've made progress... and to be honest.. ITS ALOT OF FUN, Roaming a junkyard and hauling the parts back to the car in a bunch of creative ways 








































If you ever get a chance to  build a car in a junkyard.. TAKE IT!!! 

(Oh and before anyone asks, Yes it has a vin, yes it has a title)

Did you get bored with the Charger or did you finish it up and I missed it? Also do you have room for this one back at the house?

[Homerr]

Aw jeez, get one frankencar running first!

No , But i cant insure it until im 26.... so.. i have 5 years to wait... i try not to think about it   

[Patronus]

Nice! Love the idea! You got the energy and time, hell why not! If only I could convince by brother to paint his '88 conquest Tsi in the Pursuit theme... I'm getting sick of the "back to the future" comments

[aussiemuscle]

wow, that some serious recycling. can't wait to see what you do next.

his '88 conquest Tsi

his what? oh, a Mitsubishi Starion.

[toocheaptosmoke]

Awesome, love the Mad Max movies!   Heck, I would also live in my own personal junk yard if I could. 

[Ghoste]

Why can't you insure it until 26?

[JB400]

Junk.

One man's junk...

Why can't you insure it until 26?

I think he is looking for the cheap antique car insurance (I thought the magic number was 25 for that)

Not only that (although 99% that) other companies will give the charger a 0$ value (because off all the modifications) and will write it off in any collision, and i've spent too much time, money and effort to agree to that. hagerty said they will gladly give it a 15,000$ value.. but i need 10 years driving experience, hence the age of 26

You lucky, crazy dog. Keep up the good work!

A mad max / road warrior type build is on my bucket list, but I want it to be based on 3rd gen Charger hulk. So far, I have rescued a 6-71 blower case from the scrap yard...... not much else to report

that sounds cool, but im picturing whatever you build with the "Wheels of terror" Bumper treatment  that car would look cool with a blower and zoomies
