Did a dumb thing and bought another car before finishing my '64 hardtop. Dug into the savings for this one but my wife wanted a vert before I bought the hardtop and this one was too good to pass up. Looks like I will have to continue working overtime hours to fund these projects. Car options include: power top, power windows, power seat, remote trunk release (vacuum design), remote mirror, tilt steering wheel, upgraded AM radio. 4bbl, posi rear (see the tag in the photos, also stamping matches), factory drive train with a rebuild at 99K, has 125K on it now. Car has aftermarket dual exhaust. The interior is very presentable but the carpet needs to be replaced, other than that very good driver quality. Also got a 61-69 cutlass "all you need to know book" and the '64 service manuals, extra dash, second set of hub caps, front light housings, a left tail light assembly, the orginal ignition key (too worn to work) and documents of title and registration back to 1977. The bad: trunk has a couple soft spots but no holes (freaken rubber mats ), there is a short in the taillights which I believe is at the connector under the rear seat, vert top window is shot so needs a new top sooner than later. Couple of dings in the panels and the clear coat has rubbed off on a small spot of the trunk and hood, otherwise very good up close. Take a look at the photos and let me know what you think. Drove to the high desert of Southern Utah to pick up the car.

Excellent and welcome to the club of too many cars and debt! I'd like to find a vert myself! Good luck with this one.
Interesting that you have sport coupe spears on the seat in what appears to be a holiday coupe interior. Is that right, someones change or my ignorance (which is likely)?

I belevie that both the 64-3227 and 3267 models had spears. Model 64-3237 had sqaure ends. Will confirm by looking at the reference book when I get home.
