Should I spring for a 1965 Valiant Signet Convertible?
I know a person that has a 1965 Valiant Signet Convertible that has offered it to me for $14k.
Most everything is original. It is a cream color with the original black interior (in very good condition) and black top. It's the 4-BBL 273 with auto trans floor shift. The top motor runs, but has a hydraulic fluid leak. The tires are in great shape but over 10 years old.
The guy I am buying it from is the second owner. He has always kept the car garaged and says the original owner also kept it garaged. It's a true survivor in very good condition. The car sat for the last 5 years. It recently had the gas tank, sending unit, battery, rear differential serviced and refurbished/replaced all wheel cylinders.
The car was repainted poorly several years ago. The only rust on the car is from the top leaking into the trunk and that rust is very minor. The car was undercoat when new. All sheet metal in very good, straight condition. This car has some of the parts that are rarely seen. It still has the factory vacuum brake reservoir and the spark plug heat shields.
Is this a good deal? I don't know enough to tell for myself.
Thanks in advance for your input.
