The second-generation Marlin (1967, given by the page's infobox as production 1966–1967 with 2,545 built) was a full-size personal luxury car on the AMC Ambassador platform, the major redesign that came with 1967: it was larger and less angular, sharing its front end with the Ambassador and with a luxury- and safety-oriented interior, on a 118 in wheelbase (201.5 in long, 78 in wide, 53 in high, 3,342 lb V8). Engines: the 232 cu in (3.8 L) I6 at 155 hp, the 290 cu in (4.8 L) V8 at 200 hp and the all-new 343 "Typhoon" cu in (5.6 L) V8 at 280 hp (four-barrel; a 235 hp version is also listed).
