My dad ordered  a brand new 1974 cuda for himself then felt the need to sell it when he and my mom started having kids. He sold it to one of his friends who then sold it and the car vanished. Well we have possibly tracked it down, as far as registry goes. Its still with the 3rd owner. This is where I need the help from the car community, does anyone out there know a Fred O'Connor from Grand Bend, Ontario? If anyone does, can you let me know.

Thanks in advanced  :cheers:

GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping websites are helpful if they are available in Canada.  Every county in the USA, that I'm aware of, has them.  I use them for property buying searches.  I recently used one in Vermont to help my mother sell some remote property.  I was able to identify all the surrounding property owners, get their mailing addresses, and mail them a letter of the land sale.  Anyway, they can be used in reverse to look up a land owner's name then get their mailing address.  As an example, our local GIS is here: https://www.acimap.us/

Did your father have the foresight to get a 360 during the 70's gas crunch?   Any pictures?

Yes we do have GIS in Canada, my wife is a building inspector and uses it all the time. She doesn't have access to that area but I could reach out, never thought of that. B

He did get the 340.

If it's a 74, then he didn't get the 340, but possibly a 360 or the 318.....love the "day two" look :drooling:
