Police and firefighters were called to Avery Street at Rutherford on October 27 about 8.30pm after reports of a loud explosion.
They arrived to find occupants of a property had tried to extinguish a small fire near the back of a Chrysler sedan parked outside.
Firefighters put out the blaze, and the car was taken for forensic examination.
Port Stephens-Hunter police established a crime scene before the State Crime Command's Criminal Groups Squad stepped in, forming Strike Force Ucles.
Detectives believe a number of people involved have links to outlaw motorcycle groups, police said in a statement.
"As investigations continue, police have released images of the vehicle as they continue to appeal for anyone with information to come forward," the statement said.
