Can’t decide between buying a boat or a car? Get this Amphicar and you can just have both.
Reported to have undergone a bare-metal restoration, the car is believed to be one of the earliest surviving examples.
Showing only 5435 miles “at time of cataloging,” the Amphicar comes finished in Beach Sand White over a red and white interior.
Find this 1961 Amphicar 770 available through RM Sotheby’s.
What's it actually like to drive one on land and in water? Been there, done that:

Hi Collin,
I remember these well from my childhood ( tells you how old I am). They ride fairly low in the water. I wouldn't want to be in one if there was a moderate 'chop' in the water. However a good example in those times of how to think 'out of the box!" You certainly couldn't water ski behind one!!
