Yes and no: the 1964 990-H was a hardtop (model number 6487-9), yes, 
but it also featured the 4-barrel carburetor (versus the 2-barrel 
within all the other 990 level vehicles of that model year).  There was 
a 990 (no "H") 2 door hardtop available in 1964.  It was model number 
6487-5.

Also worth noting that there was no 880 in the 1964 model year.

in '64, that was marketed by the "power-pak" 2-barrel carburetor, yup 
-- and yes, again, there were 440 (model number 6409-5) and 440-H 
(model number 6409-7) 2-door hardtops, with the aforementioned 
distinction.

Actually, while there was a 770 2-door hardtop in 1964, it was not a 
770-H.  Simply a 770 (model number 6419-5).  Perhaps others could 
correct, but I believe the 770-H did not exist until 1965.
