Could be completely way off mind...

yeah but why would you change it? unless PD did it herself back in the 80's? or is it cos it was only on "loan" from ford then they changed it?

Jimi Hendrix never played smoke on the water tho. That was by the band DEEP PURPLE - add to the fact that Hendrix died in 1970, and Smoke On The Water was not written untill 1972......

She never owned it, it was just loaned to her by Ford, but it was built for her. They even changed the grill do lower the "sports" look apparently.

Ford changed the grill to make the car not stand out as much as an RS would..plus it had blue lights behind iirc and would be more stealth hidden behind a 5-bar grill.
