No Reserve: 1966 Amphicar Model 770

This unique 1966 Amphicar Model 770 hails from Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. Manufactured in Germany during the era of modesty cars and space race excitement, this rare vehicle was produced in 1964 but is officially titled as a '66 model. Known for its amphibious capabilities, the Amphicar stands out with its red-over-white exterior and black vinyl interior, housing a 1,147cc Triumph inline-four engine connected to a two-part manual gearbox that offers four forward speeds and reverse both on land and underwater through twin propellers. It rides on white 13" steel wheels and is equipped with marine navigation gear befitting its aquatic adventures. Despite undergoing some cosmetic refurbishment as seen in the '60s-era photographs, this Amphicar retains its original charm and offers an exciting prospect for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive piece of automotive history that walks (or drives) on both land and water.
