Re: [Amc-list] what color should I paint my car

Pretty sure the Marlin could be had with any engine made in 67.

Most got the 343 I would speculate as they were a luxury car by that point.
Not that they ever were not a luxury car, the certainly never got confused for a sports car very often anyway!
