In Response To: 62 correct tranny (Todd Pollock)
First of all your car was built on December 6, 1961 not early November.
In flight judging the transmission can be seen as a correct T-10 or not but that's about all. Casting numbers on the three major components cannot be read from a distance BUT in judging your car I'd look for a bow-tie embossed cast on one side of the main case as well as the small metal tag indicating close or wide ratio gears.
In Bow-Tie judging the casting numbers and dates would be noted as well as the Borg-Warner assembly date. Also, in 1962 the Corvette's VIN derivative was stamped in close proximity to the assembly date stamp.
Hope this helps,
