After filming was over, this Interceptor was bought and restored by Bob Forsenko, and was later on display in the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Cumbria, England. The most memorable car, Max's black Pursuit Special - frequently designated an "Interceptor", based on a mechanic's quote in Скажений Макс: Воїн Дороги (1981) - was a limited GT351 version of a 1973 Ford XB Falcon Hardtop (sold in Australia from December 1973 to August 1976), which was primarily modified by Murray Smith, Peter Arcadipane, and Ray Beckerley. The March Hare, driven by Sarse and Scuttle, was an in-line-six-powered 1972 Ford Falcon XA sedan (this car was formerly a Melbourne taxi cab).

The Planet Hollywood Interceptor is a replica and was never used in any of the films. The wreckage used to be viewable at Broken Hill, Australia, but due to thefts it can't be found there any longer.

This would be a strong indication that the tattoo the Toecutter's gang wear is a symbol of their commitment by participating in the murder of a "Bronze" officer, as it is mentioned that Nightrider, who bears this mark as well, is a referred to as a "Cop Killer" at the films beginning, indicating that the Toecutter gang have been involved in the deaths of members of the Main Force Patrol. It is not until after he is responsible, and partakes in the death of MFP officer Jim Goose, is Johnny the Boy seen brandishing the gang tattoo on the left side of his neck at the end of the film, when Max handcuffs him to the back of the crashed vehicle he was looting.
