Vehicle Detail
This very much sought after late production Amphicar rescued from a barn recent where it has sat since the 1990s. 1st, if you don't know what an Amphicar is do a Google search and go to the club website at Amphicar.com. The short version is they are the ONLY mass produced amphibious cars ever built. Yes, they are a good boat and an OK car but I can promise you that they the most fun car you will ever own! If you don;t like being the center of attention this is not the car for you. If you love turning heads, waves of smiles and drawing crowds, this is exactly what you're lookin for. It also is now a TV star! Look for this very Amphicar on A&Es "Shipping Wars" this upcomming season. There were 3878 Amphicars built from 1961-1968 with about 600-800 sea-worthy examples exist worldwide. I am the former president of the International Amphicar Owners Club and am an expert on them. I do have extensive experience with restoring them and repairing them. This car was repainted from it's original Lagoon blue (light blue) to yellow at some point. Other than that it is a great example of an un-molested Amphicar. It is complete and in great condition for an Amphicar. It has it's original 1147cc engine which runs well. The original transmissions appear to be in good working order as well. All the rare and hard to find parts are there. It does have 5 original wheels and the tires have had very few miles on them (still having the blue protective coating on the whitewalls) All the glass is original and in good condition. The interior could be re-dyed and used as is. What is needs is standard for any amphicar is both 1/4 panels and the area below the muffler and battery. There is some poor bondo work on the passenger door which looks worse than it it really is but doesn't matter as you would redo it anyway. It seems that this rust is factory installed on all Amphicars! Top bows are in good condition too. This car is a super car to either just put a new top on it, do the bodywork and paint and enjoy it or for a restoration as it is so complete. Parts are available and not that difficult to get. I am very knowledgable in these cars (I have owned many Amphicars) and can provide you with all you'll need to know.
