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.
A much sought-after vehicle these days is the Plymouth Valiant. This vehicle whose price is ever increasing on a daily basis is a must have car for classic American automotive enthusiasts and collectors. Initially produced as the Valiant by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in 1960. It was Chrysler’s first and most successful compact car. The Valiant was known over half of the world with sales in all continents (except Antarctica, of course). What made the Plymouth Valiant so popular was its stupendous durability and reliability. It was one of Chryslers best selling vehicle in the 60’s and 70’s. Road & Track magazine has referred to the car to be “one of the best all-around domestic cars”. This is a 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp with just 90,000 miles on the clock, coming from Alabama.

The Plymouth Prowler remains one of the boldest production cars ever built by an American manufacturer. Conceived as a modern interpretation of a classic hot rod, the Prowler blended retro-inspired styling with advanced engineering, including an aluminum-intensive chassis and rear-mounted transaxle. This 2001 Plymouth Prowler has traveled just 25,295 miles and is finished in iconic Prowler Orange Pearl, a color that perfectly complements the car’s unmistakable personality. Tasteful upgrades such as a carbon fiber hood vinyl wrap, chrome-covered A-arms, and Foose Legend wheels enhance its already dramatic appearance while preserving the spirit of the original design. Whether parked at a car show or cruising down the boulevard with the top down, this low-mileage Prowler offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive and collectible American vehicles of the modern era.
The first-generation Plymouth Barracuda helped establish Chrysler’s foothold in the emerging pony car market during the 1960s, blending compact dimensions with unmistakable Mopar styling and V8 performance. This 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible represents the final year of the first-generation A-body Barracuda and shows approximately 2,171 miles on the odometer. Finished in Ermine White over a black vinyl interior, this convertible has been upgraded with a potent 340ci Mopar V8 while retaining much of its classic period-correct charm. Featuring performance-oriented upgrades such as “J” cylinder heads, a Sure-Grip rear differential, Moser axles, and an aftermarket shift kit, this Barracuda offers a more spirited driving experience than its factory configuration while still capturing the laid-back cruising personality of a classic American convertible. With its clean styling, white soft top, and tasteful upgrades, this Mopar stands out as a unique and highly usable vintage cruiser.
The phrase “street legend” gets thrown around often, but few American muscle cars genuinely deserve it like a factory Hemi B-body Mopar. This 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II H-Code is one of those cars that instantly commands respect from serious collectors, representing the golden age when Chrysler’s race-bred 426 Hemi found its way into street-legal production cars. Nicknamed the “Elephant Engine” for its sheer size and dominance, the 426 Hemi became one of the most feared powerplants of the muscle car era, and having one in a relatively understated Belvedere II body made for one of the ultimate sleeper combinations of the 1960s. Showing approximately 27,205 miles, this particular example goes well beyond mere rarity, boasting an extraordinary pedigree that includes AACA National Junior, Senior, and Grand National awards, along with recognition as a two-time magazine cover feature car. This is the kind of blue-chip Mopar that rarely needs explanation among enthusiasts.
