Can you imagine how much money he'd earn though?

160k seems a bit steep. someone should build a replica of the bare metal hardtop from fury road while it's still new and fresh. every ******* and his dog has a pursuit special replica these days.

The car used in Fury Road has a Chevy engine. You can see a picture of the engine in the book The Art of Mad Max Fury Road, and the Chevy valve cover is very visible. (And it has what looks like a turbo toward the rear.)

You blokes sound like a bunch of newbies, non of you guys have obviously ever played with a X-series Falcons, especially a coupe, $160K is hardly surprising.
And yes 450HP from an N/A clevo is pretty dam stout. |

There's a nice replica shown in this video:
