WELL GENTLEMEN HERE WE GO..YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A ONE OF A KIND 67 MARLIN. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 16 YEARS. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT HAD 93,813 MILES AND NOW HAS 107,111 MILES. WHICH MEANS I'VE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 1000 MILES A YEAR. AND NOW IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF OWNING THIS VERY SPECIAL VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS # 9 OF THE 2500 MARLINS BUILT IN 67. IT WAS SOLD IN SALEM,VIRGINIA WITH THE OWNER TAKING DELIVERY ON 10/10/66. CAR COMES WITH ORIGIONAL MANUALS AND WINDOW STICKER. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS STILL STOCK. I DECIDED TO UPGRADE THIS CAR TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL. THERE ARE MANY MODIFICATIONS AND CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, WHILE KEEPING EVERYTHING AMC EXCEPT THE REAR SPOILER. INTERIOR WAS RE-DONE WITH THE SAME STYLE MATERIALS AS THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH. SPLIT BENCH SEAT WAS REMOVED. BUCKET SEATS WITH SLIDING ARMREST WERE INSTALLED. ADDED WAS GAGE UNIT MADE FROM A AMX RADIO POD. AUTOMATIC SHIFT INDICATOR ON COLUMN WAS REMOVED AND A 4 SPEED COLLAR WAS INSTALLED. FACTORY AM/FM RADIO, REAR SPEAKER AND CLOCK WAS ALSO INSTALLED. CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH VISIBILITY & LIGHT GROUP. 4 SPEED PEDAL SET UP CAME FROM A 68 REBEL. EXTERIOR CHANGES INCLUDE A 1970 AMX HOOD SPOILER, AND A 1970 TA REAR ADJUSTABLE SPOILER MOUNTED IN THE FRONT. THE REAR SPOILER IS THE O NLY NON AMC PART. IT IS 2 1991 FIREBIRD REAR WING SPOILERS GRAFTED TOGETHER. THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME IN FROST , BUT NOW IT IS PAINTED PPG 1684 BASE WHITE WITH A VERY FINE PEARL. THEN TOPCOATED WITH PPG 20/21 POLYURETHANE CLEAR. THIS WAS NO CHEAP PAINT JOB ON A VERY SOLID CAR. WHILE THIS CAR HAS MILD FLAMES THEY ARE IN DOOR JAMS, TRUNK, UNDER HOOD AND EXHAUST TIPS. ALL CHROME HAS BEEN REPLATED OR REPLACED WITH NOS PARTS. IT IS PERFECT EXCEPT MINOR DINGS ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TOP REAR QUARTER TRIM STRIP. THIS CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A 290 AUTO. IT WAS CHANGED TO A 390 4 SPEED. THIS MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION CAME FROM A 69 AMX. MOTOR WAS HEAVILY MODIFIED TO PRODUCE 500 HP. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE STATS FOR THE MOTOR: INTERNAL OILING SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED AND CRANK WAS CROSS DRILLED MILODON 7 QT. OIL PAN AND PICK UP WAS ADDED FOR A BETTER OILING SYSTEM.
