Rambler Marlin - Collectibility

Collectibility

The distinctive Marlin has found a niche among old car hobbyists and collectors of historic vehicles as evidenced by the backing of enthusiasts with a single marque antique auto club. It offers information to those interested in "these uncommon and fascinating cars." Although a relatively low-production model, the Marlin is a derivative of AMC's higher-volume models so it shares many common parts. Vehicles in various stages of appearance and mechanical condition can be found for sale. Plusses for collectors of the 1965 model include decent performance with optional drivetrains, historical oddity, plush, bucket-seat interior, and its still low prices; while the Marlin's "distinctive" styling, rust issues, and slow appreciation in value are minuses. The Marlin's low production numbers also means that there "will never have too many other Marlin owners to rub elbows with."

There are also many active local and national (U.S. and other nations) Rambler and AMC car clubs that welcome Marlins.
