Good luck with your project. I consider the '67 to be the best looking year for Marlins.

I think the color scheme is good just the way it is.
Long time AMC fan. Ambassador 343, AMX 390, Hornet 360, Spirit 304 and Javelin 390. All but javelin bought new.

Very jealous! I've always been a fan of the '67 Marlin, and even looked at one locally. Unfortunately, it was too much money for me in the condition it was in. LOADS of rust repair to do and collision damage. Had to pass. Glad that someone gets to have not only the car that I would love to own, but one very clean and solid. Well done!

Looks to me like you are having fun with your AMC. That's what its all about. I like the color the way it is but I am partial to red and white combo. You will get all the "bugs" out. Keep driving it is the best medicine for it !!

Very cool!  Marlins seem to be appreciating in value of late, and 67 is my favorite year. Yours looks very nice!

How can anybody think paperwork isn't fun? I noticed that when the car was first titled in Washington, their DMV entered Marlin for the make and unknown for the model Clap

I'm running an original (albeit rebuilt) 343 4bbl and an M11 auto (not rebuilt) in a 67 Ambassador and have found it a great cruiser and traveling car. There are, of course, several ways you can go with your project but if it's a driver you want, you've got a lot of great pieces for it. (For a cruiser) It's moderately quick and fun to drive.

Good luck with whichever direction you plan,

Tuned the motor up, and it runs really well. Did the plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, and all new vacuum hoses. The Marlin's ancient battery was failing, too, so there's now a new super duper start battery.

Congrats on the new fish, love the 67's, I am in the middle of restoring one I picked up in 2013 near Duluth. Been working on it since, I do have some extra parts I have picked up and am looking for others. Mine is a 343 car also, Sungold met. with black vinyl top, plan to bring it to AMO Nats this summer but have lots to do. Read with interest about your starting issues, I have some choke problems, car has a Holley with electric choke, I think the power supply to the choke is wrong, I also have a lot of blow by from the oil breather, but gonna let things run for awhile since it has not been run since 1977 and see if time may heal..lol....Best of luck...Al
