Is Christian Dior Sport fake?

I recently bought a Christian Dior "Sport" Sport Coat. It has a ACWA tag that dates it to 1962-1976. I can not find another item like this, only the Homme, Monsieur lines. Thank you.

Was there even a counterfeit industry in 1962?

Authentic, but nothing to get excited about. Until 2001, Dior menswear was all heavily licensed and stocked in places as classy as JC Penney and Dillards (or random menswear shops like the one in your picture). Like YSL, Valentino, and Cardin, Dior came dangerously close to losing all of its luster.

So, if you got it for nothing or less than $10, it's fine. If you paid a lot for it expecting top-end menswear, you got hosed.

p.s. There's an existing thread for asking these kinds of questions; in the future you may want to post such things there.
