Re: 1966 Corvette Window Sticker and Protecto Plat
I myself get nervous if there is too much documentation, only from experience. I have the window sticker to my 65 L78 (otis chandler car), I have the protecto plate to my 69 L78 camaro, but rarely do I get into a situation where all docs are available. The documents should have a nice 'old smell' for sure. what I thought was cool the other day, is when I was watching a show on the history channel, one guy showed you can learn a lot about a documents 'age' and authenticity if its been folded on its self for a long time. There tends to be a transfer of images/imprint from one document side to the other, if they are old and folded. I see the window sticker looks to be folded as does the protecto plate book. I would look at that more, because these things should have been closed up for 44 yrs. the glue around my 69 protecto plate looks darker than that one (more aged?, maybe not?). I would compare with others. vintage pictures should help a lot, authenticate the side pipes, tires, etc, building a case it real. Never buy a 100K car without vintage pics, if you can help it. super cool car though. Usually with that many docs, would be stored old registrations in the same folder. Odd those are not avail.
