Pretty cool to have one of the top US cars racing there, guess the sale was arranged beforehand ?
I think the same applies to Mickey Thompson's 427 powered dragster in 1963. Went to England to race and stayed there.

It was not sold in Sweden to my knowledge, i saw it at Dons shop in Indianappolis it was cut in half and hung on the wall
Maybe he had more cars like this but it was a lookalike upthere at the wall
