Talk:Ford Falcon GT Interceptor

I have tidied up the lead section but the rest of the article is so confusing that I can't do anything with it. Biscuittin (talk) 17:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly sure the car does not officially exist. There are very many factual errors. The Interceptor tag grew out of the Mad Max films entirely, and was never an official Ford model. I'm considering AfDing it. --Falcadore (talk) 11:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ==

Have placed a PROD on the article. Can not find any evidence that this was ever an official Ford model, indeed nor can other edittors I've contact. It appears to be a nickname grown out of the Mad Max films, and the cars existance appears to be almost enitirely imaginary or fictional. It's been tagged with various problems, including referencing for two years. --Falcadore (talk) 04:24, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Lets agree with you it was never an official FORD MODEL HOWEVER before MAD MAX era VICTORIA POLICE, CAR ENTHUSIASTS ,CAR DEALERS, refered to them as interceptors & falcon GT interceptor they were actually built as 1972 XA FORD FALCON 500 351 4 door SEDAN JG 23 prefix not JG 33 --Dragonslived (talk) 14:54, 27 February 2010 (UTC)they were fitted with the top loader manual gearbox  and some were painted up as candy cars

--Dragonslived (talk) 14:54, 27 February 2010 (UTC) delete this and wipe out some history even the police raced an x police studebaker pre the GT era at BATHURST it may have been a LARK or CRUISER but the folklore to us mate they were interceptors and if you grew up near Russell St MEBOURNE or DAWSON STREET BRUNSWICK they were not just cop cars ,police cars  but the Highway cars and candy cars were police pursuit or interceptors FOLLOW the Link and get in touch with MR WAYNE DRAPER mr HO the HO Wayne Draper - Automotive stylist and creator of HO. Brief Resumé Ford Motor Company Industrial Design 1970 - 1989. Nissan Australia Exec. Chief Designer ...

YOU CAN nominate the article to be deleted and deny their POLICE INTERCEPTORS existence as fictional maybe the FORD HERO RACING TEAM & developer of the FORD V8 POLICE PROGRAM HARRY FIRTH CREATION of the XR falcon GT was not based on the VICTORIAN POLICE INTERCEPTOR
 * Wayne Draper confirmed in a conversation with me on ALL FORD DAY LAST WEEK 21st FEBRUARY 2010 that he owned an XW Ford falcon sedan V8 351 produced as a police interceptor or let us call it highway patrol pursuit vehicle he was employed at FORD MOTOR COMPANY and as a staff member purchased it he added a shaker to it and the photo was on his website and Australian Muscle Car AMC Issue#30: Secret Superfords! [Australian Muscle Car AMC Issue#30: Secret Superfords! AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR MAGAZINE featured some of the cars he designed and owned, he had a hand in designing these cars and the FORD falcon GT HO ever since FORD officially dropped the GT HO PHASE 4 that FORD denied existed he registered and now owns the HO name and produced the PHASE 5 XD and HO INTERCEPTOR I have the HO PHASE 6 7 8 9 I have seen have Allan Moffats SIGNATURE on the point is *WAYNE DRAPER IS A CREDIBLE AUTHORITY I asked him about your comment and his answer was that the name interceptor was used since and  for the AUSTRALIAN DESIGNED 1972 XA falcon 500 351 4DR SEDAN model when the Victoria police ordered them from FORD MOTOR COMPANY BROADMEADOWS, sorry friend that was before mad max, he confrmed that is what those cars did they intercepted lawbreakers on highways we both recall the term interceptor used for the 1971 XY falcon 500 351 sedans Wayne Draper stated and when the cars ceased being in sevice for the police the car dealers would bulk buy then at government auctions and advertise them by various names falcon GT INTERCEPTOR was the most common as well as ex police GT INTERCEPTOR these cars were topical in the print media in view of the 160 mph supercar scare

I purchased one of the ex police cars in 1973 in NOVEMBER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyHZn-t7s8w)JUST AS THE XB model hit the showrooms

 * IN that instance it's probably worth some notes on the Falcon GT article that these cars existed, but is probably not deserving of its own article. --Falcadore (talk) 21:23, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
