4727-TPA 1965 RAMBLER MARLIN
This 1965 Rambler Marlin represents American Motors Corporation's bold move into the fastback market. With only 10,327 units produced in its inaugural year, this Marlin is a rare find. The two-tone Frost White and Antigua Red paint (code 72A-3A) accentuates its unique fastback profile and distinctive rear fenders. Chrome trim adorns the body, while a stylish hood ornament leads the way. The Marlin rides on 15-inch wheels wrapped in F70-15 Firestone wide oval tires, combining period-correct style with road-gripping performance.
Red dominates the interior, creating a cohesive look with the exterior. Individual reclining front bucket seats, upholstered in vinyl and cloth, offer comfort for long drives. The dash features engine-turned aluminum accents, adding a sporty flair. A column-mounted shifter controls the 3-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and air conditioning (needs repair to blow cold) enhance the driving experience. Stainless steel trim on the door panels contrasts nicely with the carpeting. For enhanced monitoring, aftermarket gauges for temperature, oil, and voltage have been added to the driver's side.
The Marlin's 287 V8 engine, a 4.7-liter powerhouse, generates 198 horsepower at 4700 RPM. Paired with a 2-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission, it delivers smooth power to the rear wheels. This Marlin comes equipped with power brakes - discs up front and drums in the rear. The suspension setup includes coil springs and shocks in the front, with coil springs and air shocks in the rear, providing a balanced ride. A dual exhaust system with Cherry Bomb mufflers adds a performance-oriented note to this classic fastback.
