66 Dealer Prices

[Bill C.]

A friend asked me to make him a window sticker for a car he's taking to BG next week and I'm having difficulty finding a copy of the March 66 dealer prices from the Chevrolet Price & Facts Book, 3rd edition. I know there were 3 price books for 66 (Jun 65, Jan 66 & Mar 66) which each have slightly different prices for the various options. If anyone has a scan of the Mar 66 prices for Corvette, it will help me get the prices right for him (I know NCRS does not judge window stickers, but you get a few points if you have one available). Thanks in advance, Bill

NCRS does not award points for a real window sticker let alone a fabricated one.

Do you go by (manufacture date) or some other date to know the price to list on a window sticker?

Tom, window stickers applied at the factory have prices based on the (confidential) price books from Chevrolet. The factory (obviously) had these price updates when the new editions were issued to dealers. Here's the cover of the 2nd edition for 66. Bill

No, but Bloomington Gold deducts something like 20 points if you DON'T show the window sticker. They don't judge authenticy of the sticker as far as I know, but they like to see it listing the options on the car. Sometimes every point makes a difference so why take a silly deduction when pretty much any window sticker reproduction will avoid that. Bill

Tom, sorry I misread your question. I don't know for sure when the prices were established on a particular car. My guess is they get locked in at the time the Dealer places the order from the price book edition at that time. So if the Dealer ordered a 66 in Nov/65 (prices from the Jun 65 book) and the car gets delivered in Feb 66 after the Jan/66 2nd edition price book is out, the sticker on his car coming in would be based on Jun/65 prices.

Maybe one of the resident experts on C2s can educate us as to what really happened back in the 60s on how these were actually priced. Cheers, Bill
