68.2k? For a Nova? Crazy IMHO. It is a beautiful car though.

How can you tell the sticker is fake? The printing seems awful "bright" for a 52 year old document, but what is the give away?

An actual heater delete car (if it's real) makes it an interesting car. Wood Chevrolet was a performance-oriented dealership.

Default Analysis of this reproduction Window sticker

I gave as much detail as I feel is acceptable without explaining the correction to each error. We would prefer that anyone representing reproduction documents as original documents continues to make all these errors.

There may be additional issues but this should give you an idea why a buyer needs to do their research prior to making a purchase.
May also want to look at the authenticity of the POP. POP lists Rear axle as FO1230E: FO is fine which is a 3.73 posi with Metallic Brakes, however production date of 12/30 is 15 days after the NCRS data report shows the car was built of 12/15/65.

That POP looks like a repro too, just MHO. One thing it looks like there is no perforations on the piece above the date/dealer info. And no impressions from the plate on the opposite page aside from the imprint.

The sport steering wheel alone pegs this window sticker as a reproduction. There was no sport steering wheel option in Chevy IIs until 1967. Based on the fact that this is incorrect, you also have to wonder about the heater delete. Very few Chevy IIs had this option. It wasn't even available in Canada ( I wonder why!!). Most of the 2nd generation Chevy II factory heater deletes I've seen were cars shipped to Hawaii and they all had it coded as an 'H' on the cowl tag.

A minor point, but those hubcaps are wrong from a Nova, and the wheel width / offset is wrong as well. Not to mention the fact that Super Sport package included full wheel covers in 1966 (Nova - does not apply to Chevelle). You couldn't get an SS with dog dish caps.
