Sam I Am Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Many years ago in one of the main car model magazines was an article about a Pro Street 1966 Johan Marlin build. I searched the web but could not find it. If anyone here can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't remember any feature articles, something like that would stick out in my mind. Maybe there was a picture of one in coverage of some contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hmm, was it turquoise, possibly? I think there was a Pro Street themed issue of SAE in the early '90s, IIRC. I'll see if I still have that issue, and page through the others from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 I do remember the author/builder remarking on how people would think him crazy to build such a rare kit like he did. I do not remember it being on the cover, but there was an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 I don't think that is the one. IIRC it was much cleaner and more detailed of a build than this one. I could be mistaken, it has been many years ago, and my memory is a bit hazy to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I looked through my back issues of SAE, and no longer have the Pro Street themed issue (I thought) I remembered, so I don't think I'll be of much help Sam, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Don't worry about it Casey, your efforts are appreciated. Thing is, I may still have the magazine in storage....1300 miles away. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I was thinking of this issue, but as Mark said, it could've been featured in any issue with contest coverage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 For some reason I was thinking it was in Car Modeler magazine, but I could very well be wrong. I do remember 3 or 4 years ago seeing a 1:1 pro touring Marlin in one of the real hot rod rags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ybsluos Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Sam there is indeed a Pro Street Marlin in the October 1991 SAE “Tubs” issue. There is currently an auction of 2 SAR issues including this one on eBay. I will try to post a link to the auction if I can figure out how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 That was the one ! Thank you so much. I looked through my back issues and did not find it. I did put your link on my watch list. If my mad money comes in, I will purchase the magazine. Thanks for your help, I knew I wasn't crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
