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. :)
