Very nice! I would like to see some footage on the carpet. It should be a shiny smooth shag. A very unique feature of the Marlin, as well as Ambassador.
Very good observation, the carpet in the Marlns in very unique. The video was getting a little long and it didn't make the cut but, I insure you it is in excellent original to the car condition. It's had the original floor protectors in it since new.
@keithhuffman1253 Thank you for noticing! I was really lucky to find this car. It is pretty remarkable how well this car was treated it's whole life and getting the story from the daughter that was there when it came home new was awesome! Thanks for watching my channel and hopefully you stick around, I come across some very special cars.
A beautiful car/time capsule. I have always loved the turn aluminum look. Curious as to the detail in the headliner, the 65 Impala SS I owned at had embossed stars, also curios as to the trunk space, looks to be absolutely cavernous!
@amandastyles-uh6zx Thanks for noticing, it's getting harder and harder to find them like this!! Hope you got to see all the videos and stay tuned for more Barn Finds
That fastback looked nice when viewed from some angles, but the roof is just too big. It looks like it was stolen from a larger car. Dick Teague and his crew could design a car that looked as good as one GM designed.
I remember the first time I saw one, I initially thought it was a Barracuda. Did not find out it was a Marlin till I caught up to it ad saw the badge on the trunk, hatch.
The original owner must have been quite weird, ordering it with a 6-banger and column shift. Anything other than at least a V-8, console and floor shifter would have been unthinkable. Those otherwise ugly headlight bezels would have looked the part, if blacked out. Yeah, they ruined the Marlin in '67. Those had the same dashboards as my dad's boring '70 Ambassador had. They might as well have marketed these as Ambassador Fastbacks
You are correct, the driving video was filmed in central Florida on the west coast. It was one of our local county parks and I agree, it's a very pretty place to film at. thanks for noticing!!
I'm calling B.S. on the "all original" . No way that engine has 44,000 miles and not a speck of oil or rust anywhere. I've been a mechanic for over 50 years so I think I know what to look for in a old car. Maybe all original parts AFTER restoration.
This was a total legit car and find. Take a look on Bring A Trailer, it was just offered there, and you see more about the car and what was done from start to finish. It's highly documented.
Your comment just highlights how truly special this car is, I'm guessing you've never been to or heard of MCAN. there are always several cars of this caliber at the show.
Dodge did not copy this design. Charger show car was already out in early 1965. The Charger is longer and lower with many more powerful engine options. 4 bucket seats and hide-away headlights. Full length front to back console. I always thought that AMC copied the Plymouth Barracuda. At the end of the day the Marlin is interesting and unusual. I have not seen one since the late 80s.
The Marlin debut was actually in 1964 as a Tarpon on the car show circuit. They went into production in 1965 as a Rambler Marlin and became a stand alone Marlin in 1966. If your a Chrysler fan, keep a look out on my channel for a really cool Plymouth that I will be posting about shortly...Thanks for stopping by!!
@@scottscars4153 So the Charger's design was basically completed by 1964-65. The show car was made to get public consensus but it was already geared for production. I've owned two.
The paint is remarkable! Love that inline six. Car is a time capsule! Great find, enjoy it!
thanks Wayne, I couldn't believe how nice it was with just a wash. I wish they were all this nice, it's a special car for sure.
What an awesome car! I always thought the rear 3/4 view of that car was so cool. Truly original.
Thanks for the observations, and we are in agreement with the rear 3/4 view, I think it is even cleaner than a 1965 or 1966 Mustang fastback.

There are numerous details that you just didn't see in cars of this vintage and yes the trunk space is much larger than what you would expect.
Beautiful all original survivor ❤❤

Wow! Great Find! Thumbs Up. and Subscribed. Kool...
Thanks for the support!!!!! Much appreciated!
Man... modern cars have absolutely no class .....
What a beauty
Thanks, new cars definitely don't have the class and style like the classics.

Good observation, I personally think they 65-66's were pretty spot on but in 67 when they changed chassis and became bigger, they lost the look.

You are not the only one, these are definitely not a common vehicle. Definitely way classier than the competition.

Where did you do your test drive? Really pretty. Almost looks like Fl.

Thanks for the kind words!!!
I have one I have 1 I restored it 89 sat to last year 2022. It sure don't look like that
I have one every store at 89 and it's sat till 2022 in a garage covered. It shouldn't look like that

Agreed.....just a time capsule from the muscle car golden age.
