Need Help Tracking Down Previous Owner - Canada

[Jack U.]

A while back someone on this board sent me (via EMAIL) the phone number
to a Murray Lawton in Lagoon City, Ontario.

I thought I had it written down but lost the phone number and EMAIL.

I have been unable to use the Internet to find Mr. Lawton's phone number.

Can someone check for me again?

THANKS!

I'm stalled again in my quest for orig.owner

I called Murray and I have a lot more information on my car now than before.

He couldn't remember the name he bought the car from in the mid-1980s but
Murray told me he was a young guy that owned a sweet potato farm on the
border of Idaho and British Columbia. If he finds the information, he took
down my phone number and address. I'm very confident that the car was never
registered in Idaho (because I checked earlier this year). Possibly my
search should head toward British Columbia but I'm not sure where to start.

Murray confirmed a frame-off was done on the car and another 1963 he owned
around the same time so he sometimes gets confused about what was done on
each car.

Two major items were corrected at restoration time to bring the car back to
original. There was some body damage near the front grill that was redone by
someone by the name of Leon Saba. Murray said he is a wizard on working with
fiberglass. The other issue was that the original engine was replaced
with another original 1963 "RF" because the engine block was cracked.
This makes sense as the date stamp is April and I have a July car. My experts
that looked at the car before I bought it were confused and now I know why.
I think Murray did an outstanding job on the first restoration which was
probably the reason I bought the car for its second restoration which will be starting soon.

It sounds like the car took a Silver award at Bloomington Gold in the early
1990s after Murray's restoration. I'm researching this now.
