This is going to be a tedious process, not sure if forums are a good place for compiling all the information because there's a whole ton of it scattered in different interviews and mentioned privately by the production crew. Reportedly there's supposed to be 80 - 88 unique vehicles in the movie, around 150 total counting duplicates. For more comprehensible and detailed description of 20 vehicles so far, please visit:
http://madmax.wikia.com/wiki/Category:M ... d_vehicles
You're free to add new vehicle pages as currently I'm the only one creating and filling in pages by myself. The process is slow because we need references there, so those are most welcome obviously. As for names, makes, models etc we can start by fixing it up. BTW, I won't be posting any images here because there's literally too many of them, it'd clutter the board real fast. Added/changed info is in bold.

The following list is incomplete and almost every vehicle is missing details. Please, if you can fill in any of the blanks or provide images, makes, or production nicknames for any of these cars, IT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Doubly so to anybody who worked on the film.

Note that I haven't included bikes, because at this stage, they would be too difficult to list and track accurately.

What is the Morris 10 Series M?

Also I don't think Bones was from Gas Town, it had a War Boy and a Bullet Farmer on it when you saw it in the canyon pile up.

You might be right about Bones being a Bullet Farm vehicle. I listed it with Gastown because I thought it was seen in a promotional image of their cars, but I am probably wrong.

As for the Morris: I suppose the photo of a Bullet Boy posing with it is reason enough to consider it a Bullet Farm vehicle too.

Are the Dodge/Buick etc really just called their makes?

And the Monaro -- where was it stated that it is called "Fire Car"? Keeping in mind that Gastown has a "Firecar #4", could the Monaro be "Firecar #1"? And where would the other Firecars be? :P

Yeah, all the images can be found between the Wiki, the Fury Road Vehicles site, and the IMCDB page for Fury Road. But the more revealed by people who worked on the film etc, the better.

I'm particularly hoping to get more nicknames / production names for all these vehicles.

Apparently the "Blitz Buggy" is on the carrier too, but I am not sure which wreck it is or what it looks like. Furyroadcars described it to me as basically being the shell of a WW2 Chevy Blitz truck on a car. The only thing that reminded me of was the Buzzard Excavator, which had a Chevy Blitz cab built over it.

I think it was on the Blu Ray Fury Road cars feature, I'll have to check.

That's a great bit of info! Fantastic! Cheers :D

Now I'm going to have sleepless nights wondering what the other Claw Cars are called... and the Polecat Cars... and which cars were "Buggy #"-whatever... and what those other Buzzards are called, and so on!

Would love to see the other 3+ Caltrops Cars, too.

Thanks ^^

Just something I muck around with when I have time I appreciate the inputs

Re Firecar - Andrew Rickards source
Re Morris - Cameron Manwell source - but I did a google search to get the exact model as close as I could find

RE what faction cars come from it seems that in long distance shots cars were doubled up to boost numbers so it kinda makes it hard to work out where they all fit , roughly Gastown had the flamers and pole cats , Bullet farm had the harpoon and plows

I have the comments open on each page if people wish to add info Cameron Manwell and Andrew Rickard have helped me out a bit so far oh and Kami ! an teCal :mrgreen:
