Should I spring for a 1965 Valiant Signet Convertible?

Seems high for a car with a shoddy paint job. Ten year old tires are a safety hazard no matter how good they look. I don’t know what your budget is like, but you can spend $5k in a heartbeat if you can’t work on it yourself.

You might check with Hagerty or Grundy & see what they would insure it for.

Keep in mind that there is a very small market for the pre 67 a body cars, so it is hard to sell & figure out what it is worth. Not trying to be overly negative, but if you don’t have experience with old cars, it can cost you a lot more than the purchase cost.
