It has no rust and many new parts installed like, 4 coil springs, 2 1/2 " exhaust, paint, wheels, tires, shocks, rebuilt master cylinder, 4 slave cylinders, battery, stereo system, 13000 miles on rebuilt 401 motor, 400 auto 3 speed transmission has been gone through, edlebrock 4 bbl carburetor, shocks, starter, alternator, complete new interior, chrome has been redone, and many more. I have the original steel wire hubcaps, carburetor, and air cleaner if needed. All power windows and the clam shell headlight works. Matching numbers. The car has 77227 miles on it. I rarely drive it, so it sits in the garage collecting dust. So this is why I'm selling the car. I would like to get $18k obo. For more details you can either call me at (816) two one five - 2045 cell or email. Must see to appreciate it. I'm located in Belton, MO Just 15 minutes south of Kansas City, MO. Thanks, Steve

These computers raise the boost (at both partial and wide open throttle conditions) and offer revised spark and fuel curves for improved performance.

The 8v controller raises max boost from 7psi to 14psi (a whopping 40hp increase...from 160 to 200) and the 16v engine controller raises the max boost from 10psi to 14psi (a 40hp increase....from 200 to 240hp). These controllers are 100% safe, however you must run premium fuel at all times. (which quite honestly, you should be doing anyway).

If combined with other modifications (such as my BOV kit, mandrel bent exhaust system, K&N air filter, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, larger throttle body, stage II turbocharger assembly, etc..) HP gains are of course considerably more.

I also have a larger throttle body, K&N filter, mandrel bent exhaust system, and improved spark plug wire sets available for the V6 cars as well.

For pricing and availability email Rick at: rick@rdiperformance.com

Also have a few brand new (NOS) OE clutches left in stock for the 16v 5spd cars.

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 absolutely complete and in great condition. 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.

What is needs is standard for any amphicar is both 1/4 panels and the area below the muffler and battery. There is some terrible bondo work on the passenger door. It seems that this rust is factory installed on all Amphicars! It will also need a new top. This car could be used as is (with some mechanical work) as a driver or a great car to do a complete restoration on. Parts are available and not that difficult to get. I can provide you with all you'll need to know.
