A few years ago I found a 1967 Volvo GT for a friend in North Carolina in Canada and he had a hard time with the Customs paperwork, you might want to look at this before you buy.
Keep us posted on your progress.

the motor having iron heads and the factory iron manifold raises a few flags on the components inside the motor. I would say the motor may be still a 70'ish factory motor....and would not put the car in the 36k category.
why when building a motor would you put 1000 to 1500 dollars into heads, iron ones, doing guides, hardened seats, new springs...when you can buy aluminum heads with all of that for a couple hundred more...
why put a restrictive iron intake too when for 300 or less you can upgrade to a better intake......answer is it was running when he got the motor and gaskets seals and paint is cheaper...
the more i think about it the more i am suspect of a plain jane factory motor with unknown mileage, probably alot, in the car....
ask for receipts or some proof of a rebuilt motor...to rule out a 40 year old motor with 100k miles
