Radiator help

Hello i have a 1964 olds 98 holiday sport sedan, 394 4brl. hydromatic w/ factory air. this car sat for a long time and has weathered more than its share of storms. the car was NOT weatherized before the hiatus. I recently took the radiator in to be rodded out. The radiator pretty much for sake of a better term, fell apart. does anyone know where I can find another one? I have checked all the part stores around me and even quite a few online parts places. I am pulling my hair out over this. It pains me to see this beautiful car just sit there because I cant find one. Any ideas would be welcomed.

Most radiator shops can recore most any radiator. They reuse the transmission cooler, and upper and lower tanks of your radiator and simply replace the rotton core. I had it done on my 61 Olds 88 about 12 years ago.

Your radiator shop should have been able to answer this question.
