Following the 1974 season, Baker made the decision to return to his first love, single seaters. His place was taken by the hugely successful production car racer, Leo Leonard. Leonard adapted to the fast and powerful Mustang immediately.

The PDL Mustang was given its biggest rebuild to date, with the brilliant engineer Rick Deihl joining the team. He moved the engine back in the chassis for better weight distribution, and massively stiffened the car, while local metal fabricator Robin Officer crafted a set of beautiful box-style flares. It was repainted once more, this time in a beautiful metallic two-tone blue, designed by Glenn McIntyre.

Although the team only ran a limited campaign in the 1975 season, the PDL Mustang was a front-runner each time out, and Leonard finished the championship 3rd in points.
