1965 AMC Rambler Marlin

Fastback

327 cu. in. V8

Automatic

Clear

78K original mile California Car. Bought from original owner in Downey, CA. Runs great! It’s 327 cu. in. V8 produces 250 hp. Drives better than a base’65 Mustang and‘66 Charger AND really rare and cooler. Great native survivor. Runs and drives really nicely. The car was optioned out and was meticulously garaged and cared for original owner. I bring it to Coffee and Cars in Palos Verdes and it gathers nearly as many people as $1 Million+ Gullwing Mercedes and the other poster cars there. Many are excited to see a Marlin for the first time or get to see an great example again since childhood. The brakes, steering, motor, are all in top notch condition. I live in the hills and need those things to be perfect with two little kid passengers. The upholestery is remarkable! The dash is perfect and the rear tray is uncracked, but a little faded. The drivers seat has been repadded to original specs, but the rest is undamaged nice original. The chrome on the car is near perfect original. There are two bottom sill strips under passenger window that could use rechroming if you were a perfectionist. Best of all is the paint is perfect! This isn't a dint on this car. I can't find a bit of rust. There are no swirls, chips, pits, bubbles, cracks, runs or anything wrong with the exterior paint. Everything works except the gas gauge. If I were to keep it I would replace the sticky sender unit in the gas tank and maybe upgrade the radio antenna to a retractable. Please feel free to contact to schedule a test drive. I reserve the right to end the option at any time as the car is advertised elsewhere and I have friends trying to trade cars for it. The car is part of a larger collection kept at the Torrance airport most of the year. I have had my fun and now it is time to rotate the collection. For very little money, this has been fun to cruise to Hollywood, car shows and pick the kids up from school. Good luck bidding. Here's a small Youtube video I took near my house showing how smoothly the car climbs the hills and handles corners: http://youtu.be/u46c1eBDZAoHere's the history on Rambler Marlins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambler_MarlinOn Apr-17-13 at 11:14:26 PDT, seller added the following information: I also found have the original Owner's Manual, Marlin fold out Brochure, and the 1965 Rambler Accessories booklet.
