What happened to the ex-Highway Patrol Falcon of Johnson's that hit the rock. Wasn't the remains sold to Alf Grant who ran it in future years?

I had thought I'd heard that the 1971 winner was rebuilt as a road car, and actually was behind the pits at the 1972 event... but can't remember where I got that from.
The ex-HP XD was stripped after the crash. The shell went to John Donnelly, and much of the other stuff went into the 1981 Bathurst winner, which was sold to Alf Grant in mid-1982. Good car that one. Donnelly also at one stage co-drove the John English (ex-Allan Moffat) XD which eventually knocked a big piece of concrete out of the wall at the Esses at Bathurst.
