You can't be mad in an Amphicar. There's just something about this
quirky and unique little car (or boat) that you can't help but
smile about. Under the hood in the rear sits the 1,147cc 4-cylinder
engine of English origin that sends it's power through through
either a 4-speed transmission on land, or to the dual propellers
when in the water, or both when approaching the ramp after a day on
the water. The 770 is named for it's ability to achieve 7 knots in
the water and 70mph on land. Everything is kept dry with special
extra seals and a bilge pump to ensure your Amphicar is kept
afloat. The interior is covered in white and grey vinyl that
accents the maroon exterior very nicely, as does the white
convertible top and glittering chromework. Perhaps the best
Amphicar story comes by way of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who
kept his Amphicar at his ranch in Texas and would give tours to
advisors and friends in his 770. Often, President Johnson would act
as if the brakes had malfunctioned as he barreled the car towards a
small lake, his guests would begin to panic until they realized
they were still dry and the car had leveled out on the water. It's
obvious President Johnson loved his Amphicar and had many fun years
with it, and now you have the opportunity to do the same in this
delightful little red 770. As always, you are welcome to visit our
