Usually when I traipse over to CraigsList for my daily dose of wistful window shopping, the “Cars & Trucks” section is rife with overpriced SUVs and 2008 Corollas, which I typically ignore before mashing out a string of barely incoherent search terms (like “Camero” and “Just needs“). But yesterday, something magical happened: Right at the top of the listings was a fresh post—15 minutes old—for a pair of mid-1960s Rambler/AMC Marlins. How do you not click on that in a sea of 13 identical posts for the same Acura MDX?

Admittedly, they don’t (A) run or (B) look like they’re in sterling condition, but who can deny that the Marlin is cool, if an oddball. The fastback shape predates the much more desirable ‘Cuda Fastback and the design is just perfectly mid-1960s. The red one sports a Chevy 350 under the hood while the worse-for-wear white one is a straight-six car.

Both cars’ interior looks pretty complete, though.

Marlins, of course, have a tiny bit of racing provenance. Drag racing fans likely know of the Bill Kraft Marlin Funny Car and the Hess Brothers raced a near-stock Marlin at the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona. In more modern terms, Jason Patrick runs a ’65 Marlin in Drag Week, earning the “Majestic Marlin” moniker a couple years from Bangshift impresario Brian Lohnes and some fry-cook guy. Some of the crazier 24 Hours of LeMons racers also picked up a hopelessly rotted ’66, cut out a couple hundred “speed holes” in the already-swiss-cheesed body, and threw a Chevy 454 at it.

So what would you do with a pair of Marlins for the price of the trimwork on a ’67 Cuda Fastback? As someone else suggested when I mentioned the listing on the Facebook, I’d personally drive the red one every day and work on making the white one a race car.
