Australia’s most famous muscle car, Mad Max’s Interceptor, is back in Fury Road. AMC interviews the genius behind MM4’s big fleet of vehicles, which include Aussie classics set for new-found international fame. Issue #81 also tells the original Interceptor’s life story. Meantime, we’ve tracked down a Torana A9X prototype and reveal the sneaky secrets of the 1985 Bathurst-winning Jaguars.

John Goss Special
When the slow-selling Falcon two-door hardtop needed a sales boost, Ford
borrowed the name and image of the reigning Bathurst champion. Theme
song: ‘Fox on the Run’ by Sweet, No.1 single in 1975, Holden LE coupe
The LE known as the LE. The two-door Monaro’s last hurrah – for a quarter
of a century, anyway – caused quite a stir within GM-H. Theme song:
‘Fernando’ by ABBA, No.1 single in 1976, 1969 Falcon GT-HO
This issue we present not one, but two John Goss-flavoured features for
the 1974 Bathurst winner’s legions of fans. Here’s a story of a XW GT-HO
delivered to McLeod Ford in 1969 that lives on. Theme song: ‘Something’ by
The Beatles, No.1 single in 1969...

Australian Muscle Car 76 - Big Bang Theory

Issue #75 of Australian Muscle Car winds the clock back to the 1970s! We highlight a quartet of Aussie classics that were more ‘show’ than ‘go’ – the HQ Monaro GTS 253 auto, Falcon Cobra 4.9-litre auto, Valiant GLX and Rambler Hornet. These were muscular-looking cars that lacked punch. AMC also chats to Stirling Moss about the ill-fated assault on Bathurst 1976 with Sir Jack Brabham. 

R-Rated
AMC’s new section for mature, broad-minded readers only. Contains strong thought-provoking content and debunks myths. No nudity. This edition we debunk some XR GT myths. Theme song: Spandau
Ballet’s ‘Gold’

MIA Found
We’re looking for Norm Beechey’s fi rst Monaro – the fi rst Holden to win an ATCC race. We know it’s
out there! Theme song: Survivor’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’.

Muscle Maniac
This edition Muscle Maniac James Cockington discovers a six-cylinder Jack Brabham XW Falcon and John Harvey’s speedcar. And introducing the page 23 girl. Theme song: Michael Sembello’s ‘Maniac’ from Flashdance.

Muscle Man
Clem Smith is a living treasure and saviour of South Australian motorsport. This is the story of an understated bloke and his incredibly diverse racing career. Theme song: ‘Forever Now’ by Cold Chisel (ageless and from Adelaide).

Punter Pics
Bathurst’s Easter 1972 ATCC round has rightly gone into legend. Very few still images exist of the
fabled race today, especially of the start. That’s why our eyes were like dinner plates when Max
McKay’s email lobbed. Theme song: ‘Hot Cross Buns’.

Sacred Sites
From this issue we look back at the racetracks which hosted some of the greatest muscle car
stoushes – and check out what remains of them. We start with the most recently departed, Oran
Park. Theme song: ‘Don’t Tear It Down’ by Spy vs Spy.

Muscle News
Here ‘tis, the new generation Ford Mustang. Paul Gover reports on the latest from Broadmeadows
and Port Melbourne. Suggested song to ‘play in your head’ while reading this section: ‘Wild, Wild
Mustang’ by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. 1960s surf music at its best.

Poster
AMC now features a regular double-sided poster. This time we salute the Bathurst 24 Hour Monaros and the Ford XA Falcon 500 Superbird Hardtop. Theme song: YouTube ‘The Monaro
Song’ by Oz Malo. It’s so bad it’s good.

Mini Muscle
All creatures great and small. Theme song: Kraftwerk’s ‘The Model’.

Poster
