It’s funny how compact cars of the 1960s have turned about to be the “just-right” size for four passengers and their luggage. That’s especially true for convertible versions like this white-over-blue 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200 convertible originally listed in January 2022 on Craigslist in New Port Richie, Florida (Tampa) appears to be a nicely detailed driver-quality example offered at $13,500 currently. Comparing that price against the Hagerty Insurance Online Valuation Tool confirms the private seller has their Signet priced between this guide’s #3 “Good” estimate of $8,900 and its #2 “Excellent” appraisal of $14,500.  Similarly, the  Collector Car Market Review Online Tool reveals the seller’s ask falls between this guide’s #2 “Very Good” estimate of $10,800 and its #1 “Excellent” appraisal of $18,800.

Plymouth launched its Valiant line for the 1960 model year to compete with Ford’s new Falcon and Chevrolet’s new Corvair.  While it used a conventional drivetrain, the first generation Valiant continued Virgil Exner’s “Forward Look” styling of the late 1950s that, while award-winning, consumers found very polarizing.  Consequently, for 1963, Plymouth redesigned the Valiant with toned downed styling on a slightly shorter wheelbase.

Building on a worldwide record sales success in 1963, the Valiant moved into 1964 with design changes giving better economy, reliability, and performance. Changes in the 1964 Valiant included a restyled front end featuring a new grille with horizontal bars. A “Valiant” medallion was placed at the center of the grille where the bars formed a flat bulge. Vertical taillamps replaced the previous horizontal items. The ring-style rear deck decoration was replaced with a Valiant script located at the right-hand corner.
