Based on the list including only date of sale cars you can fine tune the chronology?
YOW 597 ... 12/23/68, 124379Lxxxx
YXB 405 ... 4/4/69
YZN 712 ... 4/xx/69
* YZU 123 ... 04B built, sold 6-6-69
* From this very late Y suffix you could guesstimate the Z intro was July..
ZQY 367 ... 9/15/69
ZVM 073 ... 7/xx/69
ZVX 549 ... 10/9/69
* ZZA 219 ... 5/01/70 (?)
* This last one is very near the end run,but with Joe's Nova being ZVM and sold 7/69, 5/70 seems out of order- unless it was a plate issued from a branch for a lost or stolen replacement.. local offices held older stock for months later. Whether or not DMV went all the way to ZZZ 999 with blues already well into circulation is open for debate. I know when the state did the wholesale switch from yellow to black in 62 i'm fairly certain there weren't any Z suffix yellow base issued- they stopped at Y. JMHO

I am just using what is supplied here.
This is a start.
Dont try to be too exact here until more info can be submitted.
Many of us have been watching these plates for years.
I have several sets to use or sell that could suffice 1969 needs in the may on area.
While not knowing all criteria needed to establish more precise results,
this list should be added to to attempt to support some sort of use;
whether it be your original car or one you would like to come close with.
Many of us dreamt the day California would allow us to use our BLACK plates for such assignments.
So, now is the time and here we are.
Lets try to build more submissions here to create a better and more broad list to use."

I will tell you that that so far that a 5/70 is not acceptable for a Z plate.
My Camaro, as a 1969 March build, was a 000 AAA BLUE plate in early 1970.
So, dont concern yourself in thinking that this is an exact list.
Let this play out some over a short period of time so as more people can submit more info towards the list.
