1965 PLYMOUTH VALIANT SIGNET CONVERTIBLE

This Plymouth Valiant Signet convertible was produced in 1965 with the optional LA 273ci V8 engine. In 1965 the Barracuda was a fastback roof option and trim package for the Valiant. There was no Barracuda convertible in 1965; only the Signet convertible and nearly all parts on this car are interchangeable with the '65 Barracuda. This Signet convertible has been restored with original matching-numbers body. The engine, automatic transmission, suspension, rear end, dash, interior and trim, and as many parts that could be restored to original condition.Two original Broadcast Sheets were found in the seat and under the carpet of this car. The two Broadcast Sheets, matching Fender Tag, stamped engine block, stamped tag number on the core support and convertible bracing, and VIN number confirm this 1965 Valiant Signet convertible came this way from the factory. This has been a complete rotisserie restoration, with every nut, bolt and part touched and rebuilt. Many NOS parts and an original dash pad. The dash gauges and instrument panel are restored originals, with rechromed plastic bezels. Instrument Specialties, Inc., Legendary Interiors, Classic Industries, Accurate Exhaust and Layson's are examples of the products that went into this restoration, and a complete spreadsheet list is included in the documents.
