Trendsetta68 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Absolutely stunning build, love that color!!!!!
rickcaps55 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Awesome I love the Marlin it was ahead of it's time I have a couple of these kits that i'm working on. I like the color you picked it's a great 60's color.
NYLIBUD Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 No offense please.I think you did an excellent job on the model.Its just that I always thought the Marlin was one of the strangest (ugliest,sorry),cars that was made.It reminds me sort of like the 66/67 Charger..But the fact that it looks in that great of condition after 10 years, shows how well you built it. Great job.

Hey it's all a part of our motoring history! Little AMC was chasing the Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda in the fast back wars. They had no money for product development so they built off what they had to work with. There was a design study putting the roof on the American, but they chose to go one size up to the Classic to make their entry. The roof line is very interesting and unlike the competition.

Yes I agree with you.In all of AMC’s existence,they were always trying to keep up with the big Detroit guys.As I said,the Marlin does resemble a 66,67 Charger.So your right,they did what they had to do,switch what they had.And use the designs they had to work with.But I have to say that Three of my favorite cars, are the Rebel Machine,and the Machine,and obviously the AMX.Three cars now, worth a small fortune,,,IMO.and worth it.And I never thought it was possible to say,but I like the Gremlin, and the Pacer X.

I'm not an expert in American car history, but to my knowledge, the Marlin came in 1965, so 1 year before the first ('66) Charger. So one might say the Charger's fastback was probably inspired by the Marlin...
Scott8950 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 absolutely cool car and you did a very nice job on it.
