Good discussion - sounds like Doug saw enough on physical inspection to take a chance - then, to his credit, he tracked down the OWNERSHIP HISTORY. People fake paperwork & people fake car parts, but it's a lot harder to fake complete ownership history with contact info. I've had the same great experience tracking down old owners (with the holp of some really nice people on this site).
I truely wish that I could add more to the subject of this thread (the green RS car) - the owner hasn't called back yet.
