Holden HJ Panel Van - Mad Max Road Warrior

The Rockatansky family's personal vehicle was a custom 1975 Holden HJ Sandman Panel Van. The front end was replaced with an HJ Caprice with Ford headlights. The vehicle had a custom mural painted on the right side but not on the left, which is why its left side hardly appeared onscreen.

 

The Rockatanskys' panel van took them on their final vacation. The family car tragically broke down as Jessie and Sprog tried to flee the unforgettable Toecutter and his gang, which set the stage for their murder in the middle of the road. It was the setting for Max's last happy days, as well as the devastating loss that changed him forever.

 

This Mad Max Holden HJ Panel Van has been created for Instagram #mocaround63 to the theme #madmax hosted by @paulielego

 

As a side note, I actually live pretty close to where a lot of the first film was shot.
