I can't quite make that out from the photo myself. Looks like it could be YH?
The first thing you need to do to identify positively is to get the date code by the distributor. The block casting number would be helpful also. The link that oph posted above will show you the locations.
Then, take a wire brush to that area that you just photographed and get all of the paint out of it. It's just a stamping and hard to see with a lot of thick paint over it.

I’d think twice about that car. I was in Canada and saw it a few months ago and got spooked for a few reasons;

1…VIN tag is clearly a transplant with incorrect rivets and installed from above rather than below as the factory did.

2…trim tag is missing.

3…rad support is from a 68 as is the shroud

4…the spacers used on 68-69 LeMans’ are present between the fender and bumper (they were not used on GTO’s)

5….I wasn’t able to open the trunk to see the inner lip but there is something off about the drop down between the taillights, perhaps the trunklid is a cut up 68?

So the risk is that this car is not really what it appears to be ands/or was stolen in its past. On the plus side it is quite solid especially by northeast standards but it has had body panel rust repairs.

I couldn’t find any trace of the original color and the interior is all repro so no way to know what the car (or cars) was originally.

I took some pictures if you would like to see them you can pm me.
