Help wanted trying to locate original or previous owners of my 11/72 LJ GTR-XU1.

My car is a brisbane built march 17th green 11/72 LJ XU1. sold new in december 1972 at holden dealership in ballina NSW . it had i believe 2 or 3 owners in the ballina/casino/lismore area being from 1972 - 1990 when a bloke named Linsay Jarrett bought it and brought it to Brisbane. At this time it had hot wire wheels. Linsay fitted csa sprintmasters and gave it a tidy up. in 1992 MR W Doonan bought it and in 1993 i bought it. Ive racked up about 2000 miles in the last 13 years.
A few things about my car.
had a minor accident while being in NSW giving it a new nose cone and radiator support panel.
has 2 extra front bumper bar bolts making me think it had spot lights.
think it may of had bonnett pins as has holes in ID tag and VIN tag.
I did talk to Linsay Jarrett back in 93 and he told me the previous owner used my car as a highway runner hense all the stone chips on front of my car (cant find Linsay now) I also remember Linsay being a member of a torana club think it was gtr-xu1 club in brisbane (no longer exists) he also had a A9X.
Im also going to run adds in local papers down NSW.
So If you think any previous owners or have any ideas to help or any access to NSW records id like to hear from you,
thanks in advance

RTA told me because they upgraded there computer system in about 91/92 afte the cars rego went to QLD they will have no records so dont bother wasting your $30. But what the hell still worth a go.
cheers
