I have seen poorly stamped plates before .. I would take the whole vehicle in context before declaring them fake. I would be looking on the inside of the pass side shocker tower for welds and other things before I really decided it was fake.

Edit: Paint code M is Yellow Blaze and that was only on GT falcons as far as I know .. which lends credibility to it a little.

I can't believe I sold a better one for $4500 12 years ago :

You're right there. A dodgy looking plate is just a flag to look for further discrepancies.

XB GS coupes were also available with that paint code - I owned one.
