My point is owner history will be faked next, or maybe has already. Fake docs, fake paper trail, leads to 2 or 3 accomplices with phone calls, photos, and stories and more fake ownership papers. Could this happen?

Exactly!!

In the near future the original and subsequent owners of these cars will no longer be around to speak with. The forging of fake owner history is/has already occuring including fake signed and notarized affidavits from previous owners. These are easier to reproduce than build sheets, tank stickers, broadcast sheets, etc. A video interview with the original owner showing his/her ID along with the documents and present owner is the best provenance I can think of.

Stefano's right, it's the total package that counts.

That is exactly what I am doing this year when my car is going for the Bloomington Gold certification. I have invited three of the previous owners to attend. Lets face it we're not getting any younger and eventually the original owners will all be gone so if anyone has the abililty to do this then they should. Also as Joe mentioned I believe there is a way to tell the appoximate age of a document so that it an option as well. As stated before paperwork is just one piece of the total package. Buyer beware.
