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......

Perhaps the information is hit and miss. We bought our '69 SS396 Chevelle in the fall of 1997. The list of a dozen previous owners went right back to the original owner in 1969. We eventually met him and had a great chat. Our COPO car has been out of circulation since 1977. Perhaps I should check and see what information they still have on it.

Sorry, but I read the ad to mean that it was a one-owner car, then sold and restored by the second owner(s) (Dave and Matt). It then appears to have been sold to English and then his partner based on the info you posted. I really don't care one way or the other, but I think your interpretation of the ad is a bit off...

So would you conclude that Dave and Matt would be the guys who most likely can tell us why the car has a fake trim tag on it?

If Richard is a member here, perhaps he can explain why his two cars have repro TT's?

Sorry, I have no idea who the first owner was, nor how many owners the car had. I'm just giving my interpretation of the ad and UVIP that you posted.
