Mysterious Barracuda

Hmmm, it has the early version of a California personalized license plate with a green registration tag. The colors of the plate are correct for late 1969 to 1979. If it is a special order then the fender plate would be coded accordingly, right?

I know that in 1976 - 1977 or so we in SoCal started seeing more and more Viet Namese. The former vice president of South Viet Nam (Ky) bought Ski's liquor store about a mile from my house. Maybe the former government officials brought some of their prized possessions along with them.
