Could you post a picture if the trim tag and engine stamp pad. That's a very odd color combo. I am a big fan of that color combo. From the numbers it sounds correct

Most of your numbers add up.
the Teal Blue trim was a recommended color with Pearl Silver.
The engine casting no. is a 67 block, and the eng stamp date of 1214 works for Jan 16 (e16) build date on Trim tag.
Only glitch I see is that the vin derivative 06327 on stamp pad would have been a Dec 66 built 67 car. Your trim tag says Jan build date.
Needs more investigation.

VIN #6327 was built approximately Dec. 21, 66, so an E16 body build date is perfect.
