It's third appearance on IMCDB now

No idea if it's a 1964 or 65, because it's listed as two different model years on each page

/vehicle_1667441-Chrysler-Valiant-AP6-1964.html (1964)
/vehicle_807289-Chrysler-Valiant-Regal-AP6-1965.html (1965 & it's also called a Regal)

According to wikipedia, the AP6 was produced from February 1965 to March 1966.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Valiant_(AP6)
For the most part this supports a 1965 model year designation by US/Canada standards.
Australia, the UK and others back then tended to register vehicles by Commission number series rather than "Year" as was common in Canada and the US.
Being made for only 13 months suggest a common commission number prefix designation.

Based on production information on Wikipedia, Chrysler Australia never produced this in a convertible version.
Strictly 2 and 4 door sedans, and a 2 door UTE.

I found comments on the other instances of this exact same vehicle (It has custom, non-stock wide reverse rims on it, possibly chrome, that were never standard issue) when I later searched "AP6" for the model, indicating the "roof has been chopped off. It's the same colour car in every picture. (Minus the blue paint in Return to Paradise) and it's never seen with the roof up. In one shot, /vehicle_648860-Chrysler-Valiant-AP6-1965.html it has a tarp over it. Suggesting there is no top to put up.

It looks great IMO. If it had a proper retractable top it would be a perfect customization.
