One of One Rare Car

I have no idea whether the Valiant Signet with Formula S package discussed here is authentic, but in 1965 I did order a Valiant Signet convertible with the Formula S package and 4 speed transmission. I ordered it through my father, who at that time worked at a Chrysler Plymouth dealership in Harrisonburg, Va. The car was delivered to that dealership with the Formula S engine, suspension, wheels, tires and badging (as I recall, the round Formula S badges were in the front fenders behind the front wheel wells). It was dark turquoise metallic with a black interior and top. I have photos and movies of the car and will try to find them, along with documentation, so that I can post them on this website.

So, what I have long thought was a one-of-one car, my Formula S Valiant may have been one-of-two. I sold it in 1967 to a gentleman in Arlington, Va. to buy a 67 GTX convertible. I took delivery of that car at the factory in Detroit.

I have owned many Mopars, including two 67 GTX convertibles (one 4 spd, one auto) several Chrysler 300 letter cars (including a white 55 C300, a black 57 300C cpe, a white 60 300F cpe, two 61 G's - one convertible triple black and one red cpe, and a tan 64 300K convert.), a 70 Hemi Cuda (auto) and a 70 Hemi Challenger (4 spd). Unfortunately, I sold all of these years ago except the 300F, which I just sold 2 years ago to a gentleman in Canada.

Didn't mean to get so wordy, but I just came across this post about the Formula S Valiant and wanted to share my story about the Formula S Valiant that I personally ordered.
