4 Speed will be on the floor. If the only difference is the tranny, and the price is reasonable I'd grab it. When you start looking for a specific 35 year old car, produced in limited numbers, you make your search much more difficult. A tranny conversion is not too difficult and much easier than significant body work. Don't know if its been mentioned, but the first thing to look for in a project is a solid body (or as solid as you can find/afford). Body work is much more expensive, time consuming,, and frustrating than the mechanical stuff. Chevy motors/trannys are cheap in the grand scheme of things. Also parts peculiar to the 64 will be difficult to find. A guy here in town, has been looking for the chrome piece that goes around the top well of his 64 convert. Last I heard he hasn't had any success in over a year of looking. If you get a project, you want as many original pieces as you can find. Last thing this AM. I assume, but don't know that you found this list thru Team Chevelle www.chevelles.com . Checkout EVERY page linked off that front page. There are so many resources available on line. Get smart on the 64 so you end up with the car that you want. Again good luck. rick On Sun, 17 Mar 2002 08:24:44 EST [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Thanks for the wondeful and warm welcome to the list; > > Geez, it will be 30 years this July 6th, that I last saw my 64 > Malibu SS > intact, and had only saw one photo of one since.
