Below are some Marlin production stats according to a couple of old messages by Tom Benvie.  I hope someday he writes a "AMC mind dump" book with all the stuff he has in his head and library...

You can see the car really failed in Dec, or sooner.  The cars were probably made-to-order for the last 6 months of Model Year 1967.
