1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible $3,750
Just drive her $1,500 miles from La Paz, BCS, Mexico to Valley Springs, California (just east of Stockton). I will be in Valley Springs for a few more days and then driving up to Chico, California to visit a friend for about a week. If I don't sell it this trip, it will be stored in Valley Springs and I will fly back to my retirement home in Mexico. Added about a quart of oil every 500 miles and got about 20 mpg on the highway with the factory 273 V-8 two barrel automatic. Installed new brakes, new tires, new battery, and new fuel pump before I undertook the long trip. Manual steering and brakes and no A/C. Lights and everything works except wipers act a little weird and previous owner removed the heater blower fan for some reason. The rear window is cloudy and I keep it down/open for better visibility. The top has a tear on the driver's side. Did not have any trouble on the trip except one incident when the carb float must have stuck momentarily. Needs complete restoration (definitely some sheet metal needs replacing in cowl, floor, and lowest portions of quarter panels, doors, and fenders). Thank you for the opportunity to post here on FABO.
