Hi Wulf,
GREAT WORK! I'm no car modeler but I'd love a crack at one of those! I've been a fan of the Interceptor for 26 years, and my sister wants a 1:1... Hey, why not get the old Airfix 1:24th scale gyrocopter, do a full conversion, and add it to the diorama?
The original, fully restored about twenty years ago, is now in the National Motor Museum, Birdwood, South Australia (or so I've been told). What it had under the hood was a tightly-kept secret for many years but the word is out now. If she sounds like she has grunt, she should -- the mill is said to be around 680 cubic inches, and the line in the first movie about "600 horsepower, through the wheels" was probably a considerable underestimate. For a long time she was easily the most powerful road-worthy car in Australia, though I think that record has now passed on.
I have (somewhere) the 1986 issue of Australian Street Machine Magazine covering the rebuild, which was done by two brothers, Mario and Tony Romeo, whom I'm sure were the folks to whom my family sold out house in 1984. I've often wondered if any bits of the Interceptor were worked on in the shed my dad and I built...!
Cheers from Down Under,
