Picture is really too small to see for sure but it looks too new and should be black. Do the numbers match the rest of the numbers on the car? What do the rivets look like? Are they round or rosette?

Any chance you could post a smaller pic? I don't think everyone is gunna have as hard a time reading it as me. j/k What car is it? All I can see are the last digits of the vin and they're too small to make out for me.

That's still wayyy too small.
An original untouched vin should be all black with a white/grey chrysler logo.
If all the paint is removed it would look like a shiney "chrome like" finish with no logo.
The finish of the vin I see in your pic definitely looks like it has been altered. That's not original factory paint work, someone has done their thing to it.
Not saying it's not legit, if someone didn't purposely paint it that scheme then maybe Michigan issued that vin for a salvage vehicle or possibly a lost vin.
Anyone care to confirm this?

a little bigger
same size for me.
By looking as best i can see, font looks correct, but dont make a decision from what i see.
Get a bigger picture of VIN tag and fender tag and post it here. A lot of members have good eyes to spot fake tags.
If fender tag is original ( not repro) then VIN will appear and you will have proof of authenticity.
Also make sure VIN matches body numbers.
As i suggested earlier, try to contact prior owners of the car

If it helps here's a vin tag from a 68 coronet that went to the crusher many years ago. I cant see your fonts but this is the correct color scheme.

it looks just like the vin tag on my 69 road runner. mine is original and untouched. i've been told by members here that sometimes they fade that way. the black paint wears off and the pentastar will turn black. but i still think mine came from the factory this way, but i don't know here is a pic of mine
Seen alot of them like that, I wouldn't dismiss it as fraud. Look around the rivets, if there is remnants of black paint, then the story looks like it makes sense.
NEED A BETTER PICTURE, please?
