Yikes! That gives American muscle cars a bad name. Can you tell me what year it is?

Ah. A 1965 it is still kinda strange looking. It reminds me of an old barracuda from the back

Another step by AMC that was intended to compete with the Big 3, yet still missed the curve. Only produced for two years with under 15,000 built, it should have been as successful as the Dodge Charger but lack of development of it's underpinnings didn't help. These are large cars BTW, which young buyers didn't want... AMC never really understood that market. The 1967 redesign of the front was an improvement, but it was too late.

The Rambler (later AMC) Marlin is a two-door, mid-sized fastback car made in the United States by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1965 to 1967. A halo model for the company, it was marketed as a personal luxury car.

The fastback roof design was previewed on the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car, based on the compact Rambler American. 1965 and 1966 model year production Marlins were fastback versions of the mid-sized two-door hardtop Rambler Classic, and 1967 brought a major redesign in which the car was given the new, longer AMC Ambassador full-size chassis. This version had a longer hood and numerous improvements including more interior room and new V8 engines.
