Thats exactly what I mean. I am looking at one and there is no VIN plate, but it looks like there never was one there.

Then it has been removed or is an early 69. If its early the  last numbers of the serial # should be around 10,000 or less.

VIN Is engraved in the steering stem on the opposite side of where the tag would be.  SOmeone may have lost is/ground it off at some point, or have removed it for some fraudulent reason.  Look at the actual VIN on the other side and make sure it matches the title.
