It costs roughly 50 to 75K to build one.The hardest part is finding a GOOD XA,XB coupe,getting it here and the fixing all the RUST that is ALWAYS in these cars and then buying and installing all the Mad Max bits.I know quite a few importers and even a few replica builders and parts suppliers.Since I have another XB coupe already here,I am way ahead in making another one.I'm still getting over the shock of selling this one,but the next one will be better/faster/meaner.Cheers
It is pretty expensive.The engine needs to be built to blower specs,low compression,the cost of the blower,pulleys,manifold and belt,and the cost of a new Scott unit itself about 7K,so it IS pretty spendy to make a REAL blown interceptor and it still wouldn't be movie accurate since you couldn't turn the blower on and off.
Wow, this is awesome. Did you make it out of an XB or another type?
How much money would you estimate the entire thing costs, cause I think I might want to do one of my own in a couple years.

@torinoscj How about the supercharger? If you want a functional one is that hard to do? I'd assume it's pretty costly.

@torinoscj Howw many XBs are there left anyways? Weren't there only like 1500? I'd estimate each year it gets much harder to find one.

Love that sound!

I still can't believe after completely fixing the body on that thing that you can part with it. It's a sad day.
