I am a Riv and Skylark person who doesn't know much about the Electras, Cats and other models. I recently found a 64 engine which has been sitting for many years. The previous owner pulled the engine and had it rebuilt several years back but never installed. I wanted the engine because it was a dual 4 motor. So after many years of asking, I got him to price it. After picking it up, he told me to go get the car it came from. A car was just a bonus to me. I got it hauled to my home yesterday. After looking at it, I wonder about it. It is loaded with options. My first ideal was to pull the options I wanted and use them on a future Riv, but then I hated the ideal of sending it to the grinder. Here are the quickly noted options: orginal dual 4 425 eye on the dash pad cruise everything power including the vent windows rear defroster am/fm possible locking rearend 4 note horns There may be more once I get time to give it a good look. So, is this rare? Or, is it normal for the Electras? I hate to crush a rare optioned car. I don't have a title, but assume the guy has it if I ask. Thanks
While there are no records I know of of how many non Rivs came with the A2 dual quad engine package I would guess its somewhere around the percentage of A2 non GS Rivs, which is 454 in 65. I'd say you got yourself a stuffed to the gills car there John.
The rarest option is certainly the dual quad. Not many Electras came with all these options in 1964. Is it a 4 dr or a 2 dr? If you decide to sell parts out of it, I'd be interested in the Guide-Matic.
Thanks for the replys guys. The car is a 4 door hard top. Body is still good with a minor rust issue. Interior is complete in need of seat covers, headliner and carpet. I don't know what to do with it.
64 Electra Would you sell the Electra? If so, let me know. I have several, and am always looking for others. Is it a four window hardtop or six window hardtop? Also, what color is it? But, do one thing, do not crush the car... Thank you, Matt Menges
3 more noted options: power trunk Power locks tilt wheel Found runst on the bottoms of the rear doors. N.O.S. AC air breather for the dual 4 breather laying in the back seat.
64 Electra Cool, just let me know. I have a loaded 64 Electra four door six window hardtop, but it does not have as many options as yours, so I would be interested in it. I like those Electras, and I really like the four door four window hardtops. Thanks again, and have fun, Matt
