Restore? Probably so. The 426 engine adds a whole lot of sex appeal to a
'64 B Body.
I'm in the Walter P. Chrysler Club and they have a "photo shoot" as an
annual feature in their magazine. One of the classes in that photo shoot
is something like "basket case" but that also falls in "under
restoration" category.
There are Mopars in that category that had trees growing out of the
grill after sitting so long in a field. Half the body panels are
missing, there's little trim, the glass all broken ,etc. And the Mopar
is so rusty that you have to admire molecular motion that keeps the
machine from self-disintegrating into a pile of iron oxide.
It amazes me.
Yet someone is actively restoring these Mopars. Probably because they
really like that year Mopar. Also some folks just like the challenge of
putting back to original something that 99.9% of the world would push
into a crusher: pride in work; saving a piece of history; beating a
challenge, etc.
To each their own. But a numbers matching 426 '64 B deserves saving,
imho. :)
