Vehicle Detail
Up for sale is a really amazing "Survivor" 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200 2-Door Hardtop Sport Coupe. This was the top of the line Valiant for 1964. It is a true hardtop coupe with NO centerpost when you roll down the side windows. It is equipped with sthe optional "Super 225" slant 6 engine. This was the largest engine available in the Valiant series in 1964. When the Barracuda came out late that year, you could get a 273 V8 in it. This Valiant also has deluxe interior with bucke seats, automatic transmission with push-button drive (last year this type of shifter was available), full wheel covers, and deluxe push button radio. All features on this car are in good working order. This car is an amazing time warp! I am only the 3rd owner, and it only has 69,000 actual miles since new! It has always been garaged. It has all its original body panels, and I can't find any rust anywhere! The frame rails, floor boards, and unibody are also all straight, original, and rust-free! In fact, this little car still has about 90% of its original paint! It still holds a great shine, and the car is straight as an arrow. I can find no evidence of crash damage or repairs. The chrome and bright work are all bright, shiny, and straight. The original interior is also in great shape! There are no rips or tears in the seats, door panels, headliner or carpet. Interior is a very attractive 2-tone red with silver accents. Clearly Plymouth was trying to make this car look "upscale" compared to the Valiants you usually see. Also, the trunk compartment is immaculate with excellent original mat and paint. Again, it is not rusted. IMPORTANT: This car was last registered in Georgia. That state does not title cars as old as this. Ownership is transferred by giving the new owner the last registration for the car, and a bill of sale. That is how this car will be sold. This Signet drives just great! These "Slant" 6 engines and automatics had a reputation of being virtually "Bullet-Proof"! This one is no exception. It starts and runs well, does not leak, burn, or smoke. Car is very strong and smooth out on the highway. The great news is the fuel economy! I have been getting 21 MPG local driving, and on a trip this past weekend, I got 25 MPG! All this on regular 87 octane unleaded. Car has been very reliable for me. It has had all the normal things done that usually need to be done to an older car after sitting for awhile. It has had brakes, exhaust, battery, belts, hoses, tune-up, radiator redone, heater core, shocks, tires, and filters. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere! In fact, this past weekend I put 150 miles on it going to a car show and back, no problems or issues! It should be noted that un-restored "Survivor" cars are the up and coming thing in the vintage car hobby. A premium is placed on these rolling pieces of history. Remember, anyone can restore an old worn out car, but a car is only new and original once! If someone GAVE you a basket-case restoration project car, you could not turn it into this car for the amount of money you can buy this one for! Please feel free to call me at 704-827-8138 with any questions about this beautiful automobile! Thanks very much for looking! About Me: I collect, restore, and fool with nice original vintage autos from the late 1950s to late 1970s. I keep a "rotating collection" of 7 to 10 such vehicles and will sometimes sell one to make way for a new acquisition. I also will sometimes have a nice clean original used car. I have been at the same location for nearly 23 years! Please call me at 704-827-8138 with any questions. Thanks for looking! USA SALES ONLY! SORRY: NO TRADES! The only thing I want to trade this car for is MONEY. Thanks. Now for the Rules: 1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the high bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have your money arranged and all contingencies handled BEFORE you bid! 2. A NON-REFUNDABLE $1500 partial payment is due within 48 hours after the end of the auction. This can be by bank wire, or money order. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. 3. Balance of purchase price is due within 7 days of auction's end. 4. You may pay balance in person when you pick up the vehicle, as long as it is within the 7 days. If you are paying balance upon pickup, it must be cash in person! No exceptions! Title and vehicle will NOT leave here until paid in full. 5. Vehicle is sold AS/IS, with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. 6. Vehicle is sold at my premises. Transportation is buyer's responsibility. I will help with arrangements as much as reasonsble possible, but it is still YOUR responsibility. 7. Purchase is subject to a $99.00 administrative fee. This helps defray some of my marketing and clean-up costs, as well as a temporary transport license plate, and title fees. This does NOT cover all of my expenses, but helps pay some of them. 8. It is ok if you cannot pick up vehicle right away. It can be stored here at no charge for a reasonable amount of time. This will be at your own risk, as I have no control over acts of God, or other circumstances beyond my control. Vehicle must still be paid for within the 7 days of auction's conclusion. NOTE: I am leaving the first week of June on an extended trip. If car is not picked up by then, alternate arrangements will need to be made. If you cannot have car picked up within 7 days of auction's end, we will have to make alternative arrangements. 9. Vehicle is also advertised locally. I reserve the right to end auction early if vehice sells through that venue. Sorry for all the rules, but I guess 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for looking, and remember, if you have any questions, please call me at 704-827-8138. NO RESERVE!!!! NO RESERVE!!!! NO RESERVE!!!! LAST BID OWNS THIS NICE CAR!!!!
