Pursuit Special - Mad Max 2

In the meantime, the low budget Australian film had gained worldwide success, prompting a sequel, Mad Max 2. The Pursuit Special was reacquired by Kennedy and Miller for use once more.

The rear wheels, supercharger and pipes were changed. The car was further modified to fit the setting of the new film, with large petrol tanks fitted in the back, and its general appearance given a more used and stressed look. The front end was also modified by removing the bottom section. As well as modifying the original car, a duplicate car was also put together for Mad Max 2.

When eventually the story required for the car to be destroyed by rolling down a ditch and then blown up, a duplicate car was used, leaving the original car. The car was rescued and restored somewhat, having a new nose cone fitted but retaining the fuel tanks from Mad Max 2. It was shown widely in Australia before being sold and shipped to the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in England, where is stayed until its closure in 2011. It is now located Dezer museum in the US, Miami.
