Such a pencil would be an improvement. Odd that the vehicle ID card is the only direct "evidence" and that the seller won't even name where he got the car (I asked). All the data on that card I easily found on the internet in a few minutes. A blank card with a car's VIN and engine numbers added would be easy to fill in. Something to consider. Or maybe the seller was duped when he bought it. Or maybe it IS Pre's 240Z. Based on the evidence, who knows for sure--you pays your money, you takes your chances. I'd want more history of ownership before paying a lot more for the car than a generic 240Z is worth on the market.
