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.

Before the GTX and Road Runner took over Plymouth’s performance image, the Satellite was the B-body sleeper that could be ordered with Chrysler’s most feared street engine. This 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 HEMI 4 Speed shows approximately 25,134 miles and combines a black-on-black presentation with the legendary dual-quad 426 Street HEMI, a four-speed manual, Dana 60 rear axle, and Sure Grip differential. The current owner reports that it is one of of only 502 Hemi's produced, making this a seriously rare early HEMI-era Mopar with the kind of specification collectors and true muscle-car enthusiasts immediately recognize.

The Plymouth Road Runner was introduced for buyers who wanted one thing above all else: performance. By stripping away unnecessary luxury features and focusing on big-block power, Plymouth created one of the most successful muscle cars of the era. This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner Hardtop Coupe shows 57,801 miles and is powered by the legendary 383ci Magnum V8, making it a textbook example of the formula that made the Road Runner a household name among enthusiasts. Finished in an eye-catching green exterior over a white vinyl interior, this first-year Road Runner embodies the no-nonsense attitude that helped establish the model as one of the most iconic muscle cars of the late 1960s.
