Thirteen apocalypse-ready cars from 'Mad Max: Fury Road' to be auctioned this month

'These vehicles are survivors of the apocalypse that was the filming of Fury Road,' says Australian auction house Lloyds

The Gigahorse: a pair of 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Villes split, widened and mounted to one another, pitched at a rakish angle by huge double rear wheels and powered by twin V8s. It is the flagship of the Citadel’s Armada in the film. All photos: Lloyds Auctions

The War Rig: a fusion of a trailer truck, a Volkswagen Beetle and a hotrod, the War Rig is piloted by the most trusted warrior and heralded driver of the Citadel, Furiosa

The Doof Wagon: the stage on wheels of the flamethrower-guitar-brandishing Doof Warrior

The Razer Cola: an aggressively modified 1973 XB Ford Falcon coupe

Nux Car: a super-turbocharged, nitrous-boosted five-window Deuce Coupe. This vehicle is every hotrodder's dream and the perfect chariot for young Nux

Elvis Convoy Car: a pair of GMC 6s slung end-to-end on the extended chassis rails of a three-window Ccoupe make for the guttural rumbling of a V12

Jag Flamer Convoy Car: the sandblasted chassis speaks of construction once upon a time in GasTown, but it has now found fame as part of Furiosa’s convoy: such is recycling in the shifting sands of the Wasteland

Pontiac Surfari Pole Car: a 1956 Pontiac Custom Safari two-door wagon stripped and chop-topped to accommodate a pole welded to a V8 engine block as a counterweight for aerial gymnastics

Sabre Tooth F250 Claw Car: a repurposed F250 tow truck, sporting a massive harpoon for lassoing quarry, and a vicious pair of steel ‘teeth’ to bite into the earth and slow a victim’s vehicle

Dodge Fire Car: the premier Fire Car of the Citadel, a flame-throwing attack dog ‘liberated’ from Gastown, pitched in the Citadel’s black livery

Caltrop El Dorado: this gas guzzler offers space aplenty as it carries a multitude of warriors into battle, with caltrops and shotguns to the rear and a mounted machine gun front and centre

Buggy Ratrod Chev: a radically chop-topped, cut and shunted Chevrolet for a single driver and sub-machine gun

Buick Heavy Artillery with Hummer Weapon Mount: beaten and polished, the Buick is the standard bearer and personal guard for the The Gigahorse and Immortan Joe

Thunder up and hail the V8.

Thirteen cars from the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road will go under the hammer this month, including The War Rig – the tanker truck driven by Charlize Theron’s character Imperator Furiosa in the hit blockbuster.

The cars, armoured and often patchworked from various models, are unlike anything you’d be able to get from a standard dealership.

These are wheels fit for a future that belongs to the most ruthless of survivors, and Australian auction house Lloyds Auctions will be putting them up for sale on Saturday and Sunday, September 25 and 26.

The vehicles include the Razor Cola, an aggressively modified 1973 XB Ford Falcon coupe; the Sabre Tooth, a Ford F-250 truck suited with a huge claw; and the Doof Wagon, the stage on wheels of the flamethrower-guitar-brandishing Doof Warrior.

The Dodge Fire Car of the Citadel, the Caltrop El Dorado, the Buggy Rat Rod Chevy and the Nux car, a 1934 Chevrolet driven by Nicholas Hoult’s chrome-lipped character, will also be up for grabs.

“These vehicles are survivors of the apocalypse that was the filming of Fury Road,” the auction site reads. “Blown, super-turbo charged and armed to the teeth with weaponry and War Boys, the machines that outran the end of civilisation have been unearthed in the greatest barn-find ever recorded.”

The auction will be silent, meaning that hopeful owners will have to submit their bids without knowing what others have offered. Lloyds will then select the winning bid from among the submissions.

The auction seems to have come at a propitious time as director George Miller is working on a prequel that explores the backstory of Furiosa. The film was initially scheduled for a 2023 summer release date but has since been pushed back to 2024.
