1967 Dodge Coronet Wagon:![]() 1966 Dodge Polara Wagon: ![]() I can't remember which wagon I came across when I looked up these two cars a while back, but, given the type of castings we get from Auto World, these two would fit rather well. Edited by BossCar, Oct 4 2016, 03:58 PM.

The Marlin was originally going to be based on the smaller American frame ( Tarpon show car, Google it ), but the Man in Charge decided to put it on the Ambassador chassis. A flawed decision, the car was too big to be really sporty, and didn't match any profiles for muscle car or 2 + 2 car at all. So it didnt' sell well. The Javelin/AMX was based off the 1966 Vignale show car, and while much of AMC design did reuse other cars pieces, the sporty 2 seater AMX and 2 + 2 Javelin were not based off the Marlin at all, which was a fancy Ambassador chassis. They were their own design for the most part. Again, AMC used many of the same parts for ALL of their cars, from door handles to other pieces, but the Marlin was unique in it's own right, and shared little but mechanical components with other cars. The Matador Coupe and Pacer were two later models that also were fairly unique which shared few if any body parts, and were also not successful financially as the more basic and generic models like American, Gremlin, Hornet, Spirit, etc. Jerry owner 17 AMC cars currently |

I'm familiar with the Tarpon, though that is a name I haven't heard in years. I don't need to look it up. The Marlin was replaced in the line by the AMX / Javelin as the newly formed AMC consolidated their lineup. You are correct, they did not share any parts, the Javelin was all new and served as the halo car for the new company. Unlike the other car builders at the time, Rambler (and by extension, AMC at the beginning) had no factory racing and no racing support. The upper brass felt it was a waste of resources, and that is likely correct seeing AMC was behind the eight ball from the very beginning and never did quite overcome that deficit. Keep in mind this was the era when a win on Sunday translated to sales on Monday. By the time of the Javelin, there was a bit more support from the factory for racing, as evidenced by Mark Donohue's competitive Javelin. The only Marlin racer I am aware of was a drag racer in the Stock Car class and he was quite literally on his own (its not like he could order a COPO big block and related paraphernalia from the parts department), and while competitive he never won. ![]() Here's a borrowed image of the Bill Kraft altered wheelbase gasser ![]() Again Bill Kraft, I presume this is the same car above. Like I said....I had a 65 Marlin....LOVED that car, but I didn't have two nickels to rub together at the time, and sadly I had to let it go. I would take another in a heartbeat. ![]() Bill Kraft again, but this is clearly not an altered wheelbase and a different paint scheme. |

I'd like to see someone make this rare auto. If Auto World decides to include some Italian cars at some point, that is. 1961 Ghia L6.4

Pretty please Auto World, can you make the new Ford GT? Ford even is wanting you to, look they already came out with a full scale Ultra Red version. If that's not a hint, I don't know what is.![]()

I'd LOVE to see a 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire convertible (with the aluminum side paneling!), an F-85, and a Fiesta wagon, all from Olds that year. Also would love to see the 1960 to 1962 Valiant. Love the early 1960's, but these gems seem to be overlooked between the flashy Fifties chrome and fin cars, and the Rumbling late 1960s muscle cars. Long live the designs of Bill Mitchell, Elwood Engel, and Virgil Exner!!!!!!!!! |

Ford Galaxie 427 SOHC![]() I only recently learned about this car, as well as several other rare American cars. If this engine actually produced 600+ horsepower in the early '60s, that is beyond impressive. Chevy Z11 Impala ![]() Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II ![]() |

I'm just hoping for more recolors. I've only got 16 versions of the Firebird Trans Am, for example, but if I can get 48 variations, I can fill an entire Jammer. |
