Default 1966 Corvette Window Sticker and Protecto Plate

I am looking at a Laguna Blue 1966 L-72 Corvette. The owner sent me a picture of the protecto plate and window sticker any thoughts?? I have some concerns but want to hear opinions. I know the picture isnt really clear.

I'll say nice options... and that is just the best color offered in '66 IMO.

I love(978)Laguna Blue also. Looks like if the protecto plate is real, the car was from Fort Lee NJ??? Maybe your neighbor remembers the car???

Post a clear close up picture of the protecto plate, it will help to determine if it's real or not.

------As many know, Malcolm Konner was a huge Corvette dealer back in the day. This particular car is just optioned so heavily that it gives me pause. Very, very few 425s were delivered with an option list like this. On the other hand if the W/S was made up you would think they would have thrown leather, teak, and P/S on it too!!! Neither piece of paperwork is big enough to really scrutinize. On the other hand, our Laguna Blue 66 has even a few more options than this one and it came with all of them too, so Im on board. Actually, more than on board,,,Id love to own it. L/blue and dark blue interior is probably the years rarest combo.........Bill S

-----P.S. Just took another glance at the warrantee book. You just couldnt ask for a crispier peice of paperwork than that. It must have been in a humidor its whole life. Not doubting, in particular, just commenting!

So Bill, using your logic of colors and options I ask you this: Is it possible for a car with a vin of 9777 to have a P-o-P dated 9/15/65? If your car has all though options plus others, I guess other cars can have those options too?

The Vin number of the car is 3777 not 9777 It was built on October 23, 1965. The Option list concerned me also but I know of an identical car minus the power window and headrests and has black interior that sold new in Ohio.

Please delete my first post. I thought the vin 9k not 3k. That was an instant red flag (a 1/3 production build being sold before it was built) but since its not an issue, there is no reason for me to be concerned.
