Brad Dillon, 25, was shot at close range in front of a horrified shopper outside MarketPlace Leichhardt on Monday, August 11.
Police say he was shot at up to five times following a pre-arranged meeting to settle a debt dispute.
Two months after Mr Dillon was left to die on Lords Road, police seized a blue 2003 Holden Astra from a Pyrmont car park.
The car was found in a secure car park on Harris Street with NSW registration plates AOM23L.
"Detectives believe it is the same car witnesses reported seeing parked near the scene of Mr Dillon's death on Monday, 11 August," a NSW police spokesman said.
Homicide detectives spent Tuesday afternoon door-knocking residents and businesses in Pyrmont to see if anyone remembered seeing the car or anyone driving it.
Police are also appealing to speak to anyone who may have seen the car parked in or near George Street, Leichhardt, on the day Mr Dillon was shot.
The discovery of the car comes as Diego Carbone, 23, remains in custody charged with the murder of the Abbotsford father-of-two.
Mr Carbone, of Russell Lea, was arrested in late August as attempted to board a flight to Thailand at Sydney Airport.
Another man seen running from the scene of the shooting is still on the run.
At the time of the shooting, police said two men were last seen running along George Street.
One man was wearing a green, rugby-style shirt with the number seven on the back, while the other was wearing a blue hat, blue shirt and black gloves.
Police said they expect to make more arrests and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
