nah. IMO, those plates are not original to a 1964 El Camino. Those models were registered as trucks in CA and that configuration on that plate (three letters & three numbers) were for passenger cars. And leading Z plates were near the end of the black plate run and likely originally assigned to a 1969 model vehicle if they went on a new car. Of course someone could’ve had to do some sort of re-registration at the DMV in 1969 and had them assigned to an existing / older car, like stolen / lost plates maybe, but they still would’ve gone on a car.
I don’t think you’ll find any history on your truck using that plate number. But it would be cool to run them through the papers to see if you get a hit.
Did you get old CA DMV paperwork tying that plate number to your VIN?
Riverside is not far from me.
