Overview of 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible For Sale by Owner

In the late fifties, Plymouth wished to enter the compact car market which, in the US, was still a relatively niche market. It debuted the Plymouth Valiant in 1960 to target this market. The Valiant model range comprised a four-door sedan and wagon, and a two-door sedan and hardtop. After three model years, the second-generation debuted in 1963 and introduced a convertible to the mix, as well as the range-topping Signet trim, which included a vinyl-covered roof. The Valiant was popular in the US and Canada, as well as select overseas markets, and even ran a factory team of two-door sedans at the 1965 SCCA Manufacturers’ Rally Championship. Here, we have a 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible that has undergone a full restoration and rebuild six years ago, with a scant 200 miles since then. Hocanson Speed and Power are reported to have done the rebuild, and this car hails from New York. It’s a numbers-matching car, and the Valiant is now gaining status as a desirable car, as well as collector’s item so this would be a prudent buy for the discerning collector.

Exterior and Interior

The Elwood Engel-penned exterior saw much change for the second generation, with a sharpening of lines and creases, and a general nip-and-tuck. This 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible is dressed in gloriously lustrous black with a contrasting white convertible top that is reported to have been redone. It sits on 15” US Mag Indy wheels, wrapped in 205/60-profile tires all round. All the chrome bits are present and correct, as is the badging. The interior is black, and seats four adults. The thin-rimmed steering wheel features the Valiant logo on the boss, and the art-deco-style Valiant Transaudio push-button radio is installed in the center of the dash.

Engine

Engines on the second-generation Valiant were a mix of V6 and V8 powerplants, and this 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible comes with the highest powerplant offered, the 273ci (4.5L) V8. Fed through a 2bbl carb, the engine is rated for 180hp. It drives the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. This car has had many mechanical parts refreshed and replaced, including the aforementioned engine and transmission rebuild, a radiator and engine flush, a MIS1000 exhaust pipe installed, replaced thermostat gasket, radiator and heater hoses, new oil pump and screen, new transmission seal, and new water pump, among others. Four original wheels, tires, and wheel covers will be included in the sale.

Closely associated with the Valiant, the Scamp was popular and remains a desirable vehicle, renowned for its looks and affordable power. Originally featuring either a 225 Slant-Six or 318 V8, this particular 1971 Plymouth Scamp comes with a 340ci engine swapped within; the current owner reports the swapped engine has only 2,500 miles to its name, although the car reportedly has 27,000 miles on the clock. With a number of performance enhancements as well as some upgrades on the visuals, this particular 1971 Scamp looks fresh, despite its age or name. Because the car was only in production for a short run, and the aesthetic of the vehicle itself, the Scamp has become a highly desirable vehicle, and now you have the chance to be a proud owner of a car that is better than ever before.

Current Ask
$50,500

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.

$37,700

This 1928 Plymouth Model Q Delivery Street Rod takes the distinctive commercial-body styling of an early Plymouth and gives it a decidedly custom street-rod personality. Showing 20,060 miles, it combines a 351ci Windsor V8 with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, delivering a traditional American hot-rod powertrain in a far less common body style than the usual coupe or roadster. Its blue and Merlot two-tone exterior, custom flame graphics, hand-painted rear quarter artwork, aftermarket air conditioning, and reupholstered interior make this a highly personalized build with plenty of visual character.

This 1972 Plymouth ’Cuda is a strong example of how the E-body platform can blend original pedigree with period-style muscle-car upgrades. Showing approximately 34,348 miles, this example is finished in Hugger Orange over a Black interior and carries the aggressive visual cues expected from a ’Cuda, including black side graphics, dual hood scoops, chrome bumpers, and Magnum 500-style wheels. The current owner reports that the car was originally equipped with a 340ci V8, while it is now powered by a larger 440ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic. Performance-oriented upgrades include a 4-barrel carburetor, aftermarket aluminum intake manifold, MSD Digital 6AL ignition, aftermarket exhaust headers, and a dual exhaust system, giving this ’Cuda a considerably more muscular character than its original configuration.
