I think it’s safer to just send them a simple email saying you traded that car into a dealership (on whatever date if you have that) and also that was never your license plate number. That should be enough for any reasonable person to fix it. If you ignore it they might start adding charges on and it will get worse.
How about you give them the reference number on the letter, a sentence "I do not own that car any more." And gently point them at the fact that the person the license plate is registered to might own the car? But I'd say this is fishy. How would they address the letter to you unless the license plate is registered to your name and address? Certainly not by the car's color or model...
I agree, toll roads charge based on the license plate or scannable toll pass. Did you have a toll pass in your old car? Even if you did, they should be able to see the license plate doesn’t match your account. Also when you called them did you call the number listed in the letter you got from them?
I would try looking up the company’s number online and calling that. Then if it is a legitimate toll charge, doing what dan1101 said should suffice. I definitely wouldn’t send them a bill of sale or other paperwork. If they’re still stubborn about it, a letter from the dealership that you traded/sold that vehicle on (date) might work.

Call the dealership and ask them for a copy of the sale, they should still have it. Send it to the toll company.
You have called them so they know you have the fine. If the send it do a debt collector so you think the collector will take, it’s not my car as an answer. They will hound you until you pay or you take other action.
If you don’t deal with it they will just keep sending you bills until you get a knock on the door with a summons and without the sale notice they aren’t going to take ‘not my car’ very well.

Yes the dealership would have a copy of the release of liability or whatever. Just send that and the date should be before the violation
