I went to the DMV in West Covina, CA this morning to get the Black plates reassigned to my 69 Z. The plates were the ones that were on the car when I pulled it from a backyard in West Covina, CA 10 years ago. They didnt seem to be concerned with the sequential issue of plates, in that plates with the letter sequence starting with the letters X, Y, and Z were correct for a 1969 year model car. They were only concerned with the condition of the plates and that the approriate year registration sticker was present.

Trying to JOG my memory here...

As I recall, Black Plates in California for the Year 1969 started in the "X - - 123" ( <---EXAMPLE) alpha timeline.

Ill have to go take a look again at my friend's August 1968 VN Z28 and reread his plates again but he started his titling here in California back in September, 1968 for his car and his start with the " X " alpha.

" Y " alpha beginnings were around October/November 1968. I do not recall when they ended.

" Z " alpha started I think in around April/May 1969.

My PaceCar sat for a while before it was sold new and it came with Blue California plates. I think it was around January, 1970 that it sold and titled and received the Blue.
Those Plates started with the numerals followed by an " A " alpha. (Example : 123 Axx )
