Ontario DMV records only go back to the early 70's, so if the car transferred out of Province either in a dealer transfer when new, or if the car was sold in Weston, On and the owner moved to Quebec for instance early in the car's life, the owner would not show up on the Ontario DMV ownership listing until the car was registered (or reregistered) in Ontario. No UVIP will list owners prior to the early 70's...I tracked a '67 Z years ago sold out of Gorries' and that is exactly what happened to the car.

That would not explain why this L89 first shows up in the records in 2004. You seem to be missing the point here - it has been claimed that there was only one owner prior to the restoration in 2005. The UVIP indicates that the one owner prior to the restoration date is the joint ownership of David Mattina and Matt Langford. If the one owner prior to restoration claim is true, then David Mattina and Matt Langford together bought the car new in 1969 regadless of what province or dealer the car was purchased from.

If your point were to apply here Mark, it would mean that Dave Mattina and Matt Langford lived in another province until 2004 when they moved here. That - my friend, did not happen......
