At a minimum, it’d better be a Hellcat!
Charger for me.
The Charger for sure. When DM made this model it flew off the shelf.
Charger! Styling and engine options make it.
Charger, much more sporty..
They moved the Marlin to the full-size platform in '67, a much better design.

Pics: My '66 Charger; bought in 1985 with 27,000 original miles on it and sold it in 1999 with 34,000 original miles in order to retire debt free.

The headlights closed but I left them open after a re-lay died and I ended up with a Buick re-lay to fix it but unless I was in a cruise or show I left them open.
I'll echo what Terrance said: Charger because of what's under the hood.
Agree. The longer body eliminated the slight hunchback effect of the earlier one.
It went from being oddly proportioned to elegant.

Nice car Bruce. I always liked the interior trim and console on these.
The father of a kid I knew in school bought a new one; traded in his 64 Chrysler for it. It was metallic lilac with black interior. I got a few rides in it home from school and thought I had died and gone to heaven! He liked to drive fast and jazzed around a bit; I'm sure he could tell I was wide-eyed. The thing that got me the most was the awesome sound it made as he wound it up through the gears.
For sure. Too bad there are so very few around these days.
I think the collector crowd appreciation for the Marlin started a bit later than other marques.
Going with the Charger but the Marlin is a close 2nd.
