What are the real life equivalent of the cars?

[Fokkas]

I'm just wondering.. I think the Interceptor (the Wild Hunt body) is closest to a 1970s Ford Falcon, and the Furnace is a Corvette... What are the others? What kind of car is the Ripper? or the Shovelface?

THe game's characters don't feel Austrailian at all really. I'm suprised there weren't Japanese cars too. Look at original Mad Max movie too, it's filled with Japanese bikes.

Ripper looks like a Ford Galaxie 1975 (7l version) to me https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZQT4McesGnA/maxresdefault.jpg

It's the 1970's...the cars are muscle cars...there were no Japanese muscle cars in the 70's. All the motor bikes in the early films were Kawasakis and Yamahas, mind ...the one disappointing aspect of the game is that there is no motor bikes. And there is a Datsun 240Z anyway...the first great Japanese car.

This...the first movie came out in 1979, Japanese cars weren't nearly as popular then, it was all about American muscle cars and Miller's stuck with that over the last 40 years.
