1965 AMC Rambler Marlin review from North America
"I love the cool fast-back design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just bought a Red with black top 1965 AMC Rambler Marlin with the red 327 V8
equipped with the original Holley 4 bbl and the Borg Warner Flash-o-Matic 3 speed automatic and the floor. The car has been sitting in a garage since 1975, the front disc backs are rusted tight and the disc. Original Atlas tire took and are holding air! I am planning to transport the car back to the North side of Chicago in April 2005.Can't wait to wash the dust-off.
General comments?
Before I attend to fire it up, I want to locate a modern Holley to replace the original Holley and remove the fuel tank which smells like paint thinner.
