With a VIN of <font color="red"> 124379N710772 </font> i dont see anything wrong. Your thinking of a 11A build date of 1968 where no "X" codes would be present but this would be a Nov 69 build.

I was thinking of the tag, the area around it and the mounting rivets and the area around them.

Yeah, it looks like it had a different size tag at one time. Then this tag was added. I wonder what the VIN is or the hidden VIN.

And the rivits don't have goop in them. Looks like a replaced tag to me. It definitly wasn't removed to clean the area around it.

I agree with Byron and Jeff
I would bet a paycheck there was another tag on that car for most of it's life. The crud that acculates under the edges is there, and possibly painted over before this tag was installed. The area around the rivit also looks like it took a "HIT" to drive home the re-riviting job. There's also no dum-dum in the rivits. There should be to seal the opening when the feet of the rivit are splayed outward with the push tool.

Be very careful with this car!

I've noticed on my 70 Monte Carlos that the LA trim tags are smaller than the Baltimore trim tags.
Not sure if I'm sharing the obvious on this one...but just thought I'd share

The early 69 trim tags were wider and not as tall. This car looks like a pre X code car that someone had a new tag made up for. I would definitely check the hidden VIN to make sure it matches the title and paperwork.

Looks like someone just did a crappy job of taping it up one time.

From what I have seen and read, the late style large trim tag was not phased in until at least the last week of November, this car is 1st week of November. Also, X codes werent found on the larger tags until Approximately December 1, 1968. The tag on that car almost HAS to be a repro.
