Default Famous & Infamous Fords - Where Are They Now?

G'day punters,

The aim of this thread to try and track down or find out what happen to some
of Australia's more famous or infamous Fords.

These cars aren't racecars or well known showcars/magazine feature cars.

They may have had famous or infamous owners or have been at sometime
driven by a famous or infamous person/s.
Perhaps they featured prominently in news reports or TV shows.

So here we go,

MIA FORD No. 1

Anyone know of the whereabouts of an FC LTD once owned by Christopher Dale Flannery?
When Chris "Mr Rent-A-Kill" Flannery was brought up to Sydney by George Freedman,
he bought himself a gold FC LTD. It may or may not have been a Cartier Edition.

This car narrowly avoided machine gun fire when Chris and his family were fired
upon after returning from an outing.

In the mini-series Blue Murder, it is depicted that Chris' LTD would not start one afternoon.
He is then picked up by some men in an XF Falcon and never seen again.

No. 2

Does anybody know the where-abouts of the P6 LTD Wheels Magazine had then
Prime Minister Malcom Fraser test drive?

IIRC, Mal was not impressed by Ford's new flagship at the time.
However this is an interesting piece of Ford Aus history and it would be nice to know if it still roams the roads.
