Don't know if they actually moved them, but only carved them up.  I'd
be curious as to exactly what they did.  Tasca Ford used to campaign
one of those.  They're about 10 minutes from my house, and they'd
have the car in the showroom occasionally.  Don't remember the details
from 30+ years ago, unfortunately .
