Steve, is the gold on the car the special anniversary gold that came on Lincolns that year? I forget the name of it.

If you do go with this guy https://www.ebay.com/itm/California-...0AAOSwYMxfbKSW Let me know. I can prolly save you a few scheckles. BUt I would also check with CA DMV as stated, they might be able to make you a duplicate.

The guy in Germany has really good looking plates.

Thanks to all that chimed in with info for me to digest.

Just thought it would be nice to have a matching plate that the Z/28 had on it when new. Been thinking about this for over 25 years.

Do not think I would go the route of the reissue black plates from California as from what I have been told, they are not exactly the same. Also, I would have to register the car in California to receive them and that is not going to happen since I live in Connecticut.

I think I will just pass on a reproduction plate and be happy I have one original.

Not the same thing, but I have an NOS 1969 Dealer tag from Tennessee. I never got around to it, but I was planning to register a current issue vanity tag with the same number as the NOS one. Then use the NOS tag on my car, with the real tag in the trunk, in the event that I got stopped. Not exactly legal, but I figured I would not get in trouble.
