I believe the power top was optional in '64. To change to a power top, you'll have to replace the helper springs (behind the rear side panels) with the power hydraulic cylinders, and add the lower cylinder mounting brackets to the floor, and the complete pump/hose/switch/harness parts of the power top system.
I think the power system from any A body '63-'66 convertible should fit properly.
Can be done, but is a lot of work.
