Not sure whether I will keep or sell.

The install kit for the Hurst Competition + shifter is no longer available. I believe that it is original to the car, but they didn't stamp partial VINS until '63 I believe, when Chevy started using Muncies. Date codes on the trans are correct. All that being said, I'll probably never use it in the Corvette again. I never say I won't do another project car (although my wife says I won't). So I'll probably trip over it for awhile yet. I have one more bucket list desire and that is a '59 (preferred) or '60 El Camino in the same condition as my Blazer. I'd have to either sell or trade the Blazer to do so, unless I hit the lotto.
