He had been living under the radar and alone but two assassins found him in the underground car park and opened fire just after 8am on Tuesday.
The black Audi station wagon was towed from the apartment block on Spring Street on Wednesday,the driver’s side window bearing seven bullet holes.
The car,photographed travelling through Mosman on a truck,was covered in fingerprinting dust used by forensic police. Police will now begin piecing together vital clues such as the trajectory of the bullets,the type of weapon and ammunition used to kill Moradian,DNA,blood samples and items inside the car.
‘He obviously had a big target on his back.’

But another car also remains key to solving the daylight killing – a grey Porsche Macan dumped just a few blocks away by the gunmen.
The killers attempted,and failed,to torch the Porsche with a handgun inside. Forensic police plucked it from the scorched but intact car hours after Moradian was killed.

Officers spent Wednesday knocking on doors across the city to hose down fears of reprisal attacks over Moradian’s death.
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said Moradian’s links to the Comanchero gang,among others,left him a high-value target in the underworld.
“He’s a high-level criminal identity ... he’s a major player in the organised crime network and also has links to the Comanchero OMCG[outlaw motorcycle gang],” Doherty said hours after Moradian’s death.
“He obviously had a big target on his back.”
