Best in the World? 1962 Chrysler Valiant Signet 200

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

Ok before we get going here, let’s take a vote: Who likes this styling and who doesn’t? Vote below in the comments section, but I would love to hear more than a “yay” or a “nay”.  What’s to like? Or not? No doubt that today, the melange of styling cues sported by the Valiant and its close sister the Dart prompt divisive opinions, but back in the day the Valiant was one of Chrysler’s best-selling marques. This was a Virgil Exner design, originally code-named the Falcon after a concept car that Exner designed in 1955. Designed as a compact car, the Valiant hit the road in 1959 as a 1960 model. Over time, several body styles and trim levels became available. The Signet 200 was a top-of-the-line trim package that delivered pleated seats (still vinyl), deep pile carpet, better trim, and a fancier grille. Here on eBay is what must be one of the best Chrysler Valiants around, a 1962 Signet 200, bid to $6,256, reserve not met. This car is located in Churubusco, Indiana. According to the seller, it has only 17,300 documented miles from new.

Whatever you think of the styling, the new motors Chrysler furnished with the Valiant had plenty of advantages. This is the 170 cu. in. slant-six, with a great balance between economy and performance – thanks to some special tweaks. The motor was installed at a 30-degree angle to allow for a lower hood line. It came equipped with an individual-branch intake manifold, and many of the ancillary parts were cast aluminum. A few upgrades have been installed, including finned valve and air cleaners, a Mini reduction starter, and FiTech fuel injection. The intake manifold has been replaced with an Aussie Speed version, and there are new split exhaust manifolds along with a larger diameter exhaust. By itself, the 170 slant-six put out about 101 bhp, but these driveability and performance upgrades might add 5 hp to the total. The transmission is the venerable Torque-Flight three-speed automatic.

The car is sporting its original blue paint and most of the interior is from the factory as well; only the headliner has been replaced. This is a bench seat version – a bit of a bummer since the bucket seats in the Valiant were good-looking. We’re told all the gauges work as they should. The car has new Coker radials. The trunk even contains the original jack and jacking instructions.

This car comes with its original parts in case you’re inclined to revert to stock, as well as a service manual, receipts, and original sales documents. This car ticks all the boxes with me: original documents, original parts, tasteful upgrades, great condition, not all the money in the world – and I love the looks. What do you say?

    The design was that of the big Chrysler products have to give it a yay as there were many on the roadways when I was growing up. The slant six is very durable engine. Chrysler even had a special versions that didn’t draw too much attention at the time.
    Remember reading of the Hyper Pak and also an aluminum block that dropped about 75 or 80 lbs off the weight. These were work horses and were produced many years. Have seen a few that ran pretty well as I imagine this one does as well. Nice car and with that milage somebody should enjoy the upgrades as well.

      I’ve had several Slantys, and what I remember most about them, is they leaked oil, profusely. And some have the nerve to rip on the British, also “oil dispensers”. Problem was, they used a spark plug tube, like the hemi, and oil would pour out, if not properly sealed. I remember it was time to add oil when the valves started to clack. Those oil strips in vintage highway photos? Slant 6, in part, did that. The distributor was in a funky place too, a chore when replacing points. What are “points”, grandpa? Mmm-hmmm,,for the sake of the new owner, I hope it has electronic ignition. I don’t think I even have feeler gauges in my toolbox anymore.

        Howard, did you actually own a slant six or are you just repeating something someone said. I have owned a 61, 64, 65, and two 76’s and an 81, and mine didn’t leak. The spark plug tubes were gone in the 76 and 81’s but the seal at the top of the tubes in the earlier ones cost about a dime and if they were changed when the plugs were changed they wouldn’t leak. Yes, the distributor was on the lower side of the engine but I never found it more difficult to work on than a V8 where the distributor is in the rear of the engine.

    Absotively, posilutely love it. My 3rd( a ’63) and 4th( a ’64) cars were Valiants. While mine were the next gen and not near as flashy, same guts. Torqueflites could be put behind hemis, I believe Valiant was the 1st car with an alternator, they were good cars. Naturally, as a punk kid, I beat the crap out of those cars, I don’t ever recall them breaking. I get a kick out of folks that mock AMCs wacky designs, yet Chrysler in the early 60s was pretty far out there too. I also chuckle about trying to make the “Slanty” something it wasn’t really designed for. Oh sure, the Hyper Paks did well, but any 6 could be made to run, and just be happy with it chugging away, mile after mile. Far as I’m concerned, automobile progression could have stopped right here. Amazing this was good enough, eh?

    I know I have said this before on this forum that I was 8 years old when I saw my first Virgil Exner Valiant in San Antonio. It’s not often a vehicle can make an impression on a young kid who remembers that day like it was yesterday almost 50 years later. Cool car. Drive this to be different and yes I have a Citroen. Life is too interesting to be driving a boring car.

    No element of the design seems to relate to any other element of the design. It is rumored that Exner created these abominations as retaliation, when he found out that Chrysler was soon going to give him the boot.

    The seller is incorrect.
    Valiant was it’s own make by Chrysler it’s introductory year in 1960.
    It became a Plymouth model in `61, and remained as such until it’s demise after the `76 model year.
    `62 and some `63 models did not have Plymouth badges, but remained Plymouths sold by Plymouth dealers.
    Some `63s had “By Plymouth” badges.
    In Canada, Australia and other countries, Valiant remained a Chrysler until varying years, up to `67.
    They also shared US Dodge Dart rear sheet metal beginning in `64.
    I have a `61 Valiant V200 two door hardtop with a Plymouth badge on the back, built in Newark Delaware.
    My late friend had the exact same model but a Canadian built one.
    His had a “Valiant by Chrysler” badge on the back.
    Barracuda was originally a Valiant model, with a round V medallion beneath the rear window above the trunk `64-`65.
    It became it’s own model in `66.
    Some Barracudas had Plymouth across the deck lid.

      I should add that the marketing during those un-badged years is a different story. Depending on what one reads,
      `63 print ads had Plymouth Division and Chrysler on them.
      Some dealerships supposedly played up the exclusiveness of them as their own make. But they were still Plymouths.

      You are correct, sir. The Valiant was stand-alone in 1960, and a Plymouth beginning in 1961, regardless of how it was marketed. The key reason was that Chevrolet and Ford included Corvair and Falcon in their total sales, leaving Plymouth at a considerable disadvantage, at least on paper.

        I delivered a new Buick to a former DeSoto dealer at our Cadillac-Buick dealership in Chicago in the `80s.
        Our owner had turned him over to me for the delivery.
        I was introduced to him as a friend of our owner, and DeSoto was mentioned.
        Even 25 years later he was still pissed about how it all went down.
        He said they “were forced to take delivery of hideous inbound inventory, after the news of DeSoto’s demise had already gone public.”
        He said he and other dealers felt that if the compact Valiant had been introduced as a DeSoto model instead of it’s own make it’s introductory year in `60, it would have brought hundreds of people into their showrooms.
        Making Valiant a Plymouth model in `61 just poured salt on the wound.
        Ironically the first gen `61 Dodge Lancer body was marketed as DeSoto Rebel outside of the US.
        It was sister car to the Valiant `61/`62.
        Which pissed him off even more.
        He was part of those who sued Chrysler and said he was in and out of court for years.

    Darts weren’t compacts until the 1963 redesign.

    Personally, when it comes to styling, I’ve always been more interested in the overall shape of the car and its proportions. The details, a bit of chrome here or there, etc., are rarely that important to me. So I think this car is quite handsome, that is, the odd detail does not ruin the fine shape. Quite a unique shape for the time too.

    Absolutely hated them when they came out when I was a kid (I’m now 67) and it seemed the few in our neighborhood were all owned by little old widows and spinsters (there’s a word you don’t hear anymore). I’ve grown to appreciate nearly everything about them and now own a 62 Signet with one of the rare aluminum block 225 slant six engines. Not sure where the reserve is set but bidding right now is about where I think it’s value is.

    In those days as the fins disappeared the car designs became boxy (except for the Riviera) and boring. The Plymouth and Dodge Dart offered styling cues such as this that distracted from the mundane. I particularly liked the station wagon version and thought that as a hotrodder it had great potential.

    I loved the design. I was 12 and riding shotgun in one with a friend’s dad. We were at a stop light and when it turned green we went. A drunk from the right hit the doors on the passenger side at about 45 mph. Damage the outer side bad, but the inside was barely moved in. In my opinion very well constructed car. The only thing I disliked about it was the color as it was a company car and the would buy red cars and paint roof in yellow. I would gladly drive one of these if I could afford one!

    I always quite liked them. The only thing I objected to was the stamped “spare tire” in the trunk lids of some models. Personally though, if it had AC. I’d make this car a daily driver without hesitation. I had a 1964 Dodge 330 wagon wagon with a slant 6 automatic, and it got 27mpg on the highway, and I knew a guy with a ’64 Valiant with over a half-million miles on the 225 (unrebuilt). Yes, you either liked these or you didn’t – to each his own. Keep ij mind though, that this was an early attempt at applying “European design” to American cars.

      Back in the mid sixties I was a taxi driver in South Africa and the cars we drove were these same RHD Chrysler Valiants with the slant six engine. They did 100’s of thousands of miles before being pensioned off. Most of them were bought by the Black Taxi Association where they did 100’s of thousands more rural miles before finally reaching the knackers yards. They were virtually indestructible. I bought a 1968 Valiant Rebel in 1971 with 185,000 miles on the clock, sold it to help with the deposit on our first house, and the Indian guy that I sold it to had a trucking business and the Valiant was used to rush spares to any of his trucks that had broken down anywhere in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe etc. I bought a 1971 Valiant VIP later in life which was also an excellent motor car. By the way, I don’t remember any of them leaking, or burning oil. If ever there was a South African built car that couldn’t be killed, it was the Chrysler Valiant.

    Fuel injection? I dream of that for my 63 Signet. Electronic ignition makes start ups almost instant though, and a useful improvement.

    The split exhaust solves the problem of them cracking.

    “The Signet 200 was a top-of-the-line trim package that delivered pleated seats (still vinyl),”. Nothing wrong with vinyl. It lasted forever. It was an upgrade not a penalty.

    Washable, durable, good looking. Seems to be making a small comeback these days. A feature of the top line compacts back then.

    Leather is played out. It’s become as common as cloth and no longer special.

    Great article. I used to find these “busy” looking, seeing them on my walk to elementary school. They looked bizarre.

    But then I thought the Mopar ’57s looked sinister and menacing when I was 9 or 10 years old.

    They all look much better in retrospect.

    I always thought the new ’63 Dart 270 wagon my parents had was very futuristic looking. And it still looks good.

    Back in 1962, I went with my mom and dad to go car shopping to replace their 57 Pontiac Chiefton. They looked at a Plymouth Valient (Slant 6) and a Pontiac Tempest with the “half V8”, and the trans in the rear. They were pre disposed to buying another Pontiac, and my dad said he didn’t like the idea of the car having an Alternator on it. I liked the Valient but they bought the 4dr Tempest and used it to lug our 5 member family which included two teens and one pre-teen. I’m sure we met or exceeded the weight capacity of the car, then my dad bought a small camping trailer and doubled it’s weight with all of our camping gear. The poor transmission that only had cooling fins spot welded to the outside of an exposed torque converter would frequently overheat and puke trans oil out the dipstick tube which you could only access from a panel in the (stuffed to capacity) trunk floor. In retrospect, my dad admitted he should have bought the Valient.

    The Citroen shaped like a hat box on wheels was and still is the ugliest car ever made. Number two is a tie featuring the 61 and 62 Valients followed closely by their full size relatives. These cars demonstrate clearly that sometimes people who seemed to be brilliant designers, revealed themselves to have a black hole where their sense of design used to be.

    These vehicles were probably victims of committee thinking. Too many styling cues working at cross purposes. They were an insult their drive trains. We have to remember that Chrysler boards of directors and other bigwigs had to approve these horror stories on wheels.

    The people who bought them showed just as clearly they were not born with a sense of proportion any more than the idiots who designed them.

Michelle, if you talk about the Valiant’s close sister, you might be thinking of the Dodge Lancer, not the Dart. Although the e-Bay ad doesn’t mention it, Chrysler, as well as GM and AMC were dabbling with aluminum blocks in their economy cars. So, though I despise the styling of the Valiant and Lancer, just to be different, give me a Lancer GT with the aluminum block and Hyper-Pak. NASCAR tried to run a series of the new compacts, Valiant spanked the Falcon and Corvair bad!

    One in exalient condition could sell for $20 thousand and more ,
    That’s $30 thousand and more in American $s,,,
    A great car that could easily be fiberglass ,so no more rusting ,
    We did it no one even knew it had been done !

    Love these Valiants , seems cheap too , that’d be $40k minimum in Australia. There’s a guy here that turned one into a ute (pickup) & it looks fantastic !

    My first car was a ’64 Valiant 273 v8 push button automatic, when I saw the earlier ones I thanked my lucky stars I missed that generation. Thought they were fugly.

    worked on all makes, one thing for sure this is the easiest engine to work on period. owned three, not one leak ever as i changed the o rings on plug tubes when routine service required.. if this one had a/c no doubt i would have been a bidder, ugly, but a great car for gas milage/transportation use.

    It looks like it was designed by a committee of people that did not like each other

      How do you figure that?

    Slant sixes had few, if any flaws. Habitual oil leaking was not among them. Others may get slightly more mpg, but ultimately, that advantage was lost when durability was taken into account. Look at those rear door clearances, none in it’s class had that back seat room! The trunk could have been bigger, yes, but, unless you travel with a Kardashian, my guess is you’ll have plenty o’ space. The price seems down to earth, which is unusual.
