You got my blood pumping there for a while! It' still up for sale here in Sweden. The other link, the one I think you looked at, was to where it was originally sold from US to Sweden.

I'm flying down to south of Sweden on monday to check it out.

Yes that is the link I looked at.
I think the car looks great.
I have owned my 66 convertible 4 speed in the same color combo for almost 30 years now and love the performance of a 327 / 300.
Good luck on Monday. If you are not a mechanic, have one with you before buying. If you are execting originality have a person with this knowledge with you.

Yes, the numbers match. It was casted one day before the engine build.

Don't want to give out the link in case I get someone in trouble but it's from a well respected (as far as I can tell) Corvette guy.

I think that it looks very much like mine does...

That's a really AWFUL restamp, but it would only get an 88-point deduction if the block casting number and date are correct (you can get up to 270 and still qualify for Top Flight).
