I know specific production numbers aren't available for early A bodies- but I am wondering if any still exist like mine. it is a 65 Valiant Signet convertible, 273, 4 speed with factory a/c. I know most valiants were 6 cyl, few V/8s with 4 speeds, and few with a/c. Any one know of another one still out there?

Thanks- It is an amazingly sweet ride- 150,000 miles- quiet, smooth, unreal for such an old car- gonna need a clutch someday soon. It will become a Commando clone when i pull the motor out of the hardtop to drop in a 340 disquised as a Commando 273

Cool ride you have! I had one with a slant 6 and had lots of thumbs up in that car.
Heres a 66 4 speed V8...I helped another member bring it home out of storage when he sold me the 66 vert I have now. I believe it's a Commando 4 bbl too!! Hope he doesn't mind!! Geof
Nice car- It was in the 80s here in MD the last couple of days- top down time.
I heard from another FABO member with a 66 Commando 4 speed ragtop also

Have to catch up at Mt Airy sometime with the tops down. Gonna be hot today, what happenned to spring?
I know of another '65 Valiant Signet convertible with a factory 273 Commando 4-speed.
I was told(don't know for absolutely sure tho....) that this car was a factory exec special order car because of the Commando 273 not being readily available in anything except the Formula S Cudas....
The car is an un-touched, un-restored, factory original vehicle. It does have the original factory woodgrain steering wheel and all of the Commando badging/emblems. It's a dark blue with white top, and a light blue interior.
