SSS a set of license plates for $1000.00 ?

I was freaked out when the Mrs. paid almost $80 for the single plate for my 65. (seen below) 9998-BB. I had purchased a different one for about $40.on peebait but the 9998 was significant for me.

$1,044.56 for black CA plates? Maybe the "SSS" prefix meant something to the high bidder? Maybe he's a reptile enthusiast? Shelby guys probably would love a SSS plate! I bought a near-mint YOM pair on eBay for my '67 Camaro a few years ago for $49 and change and I thought that was high. They have 67, 68, and 69 stickers and were then taken-off and stored. I guess I was smart to buy them before the gold-rush hysteria hit!

Bill,
I did the same thing, got these ZED 555 black plates for about $40.00 a few years back. They work great for a '69 Z/28 with a later build date. I'll take $1500.00. lol

Got mine for free, original plate to the car. I peeled off 20 years worth of stickers to get the 65 sticker back.
