MochetVelo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great idea. I wonder who restored and maintains them.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frantz Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Now that's awesome! What a great way to give publicity to an old car. I am surprised they have nine of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphicar BUYER Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I sold them a couple of them about a year ago. If you saw the Amphicar on "Fast and Loud" this is where it went as well. They were restored and customized in Minnesota. They have more than 9 of them, maintained by Disney on site. The ADA car (appropriately enough for those who know me) was one of mine. It was the last of 4 cars from the movie with Ted Dansen called "Pontiac Moon". They did some modifications to them for drivability that are fantastic!

Amphicar BUYER Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I posted what is probably the most original Amphicar still around here: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?30936-Another-Amphicar&highlight=amphicarCraigI was thinking you had found my friends Amphi-Baker. It's a custom Amphicar with a Studebaker bullet nose. He calls it "Finzilla" But I think you meant the Spyder? (in your link) I only saw one Amphicar in that thread. Unless you are saying any amphibious car is an Amphicar. "Amphicar" is the brand not the style. Using "Amphicar" as a generic is like saying Ford when you mean car. (just clarifying).

8E45E Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 "Amphicar" is the brand not the style.Sorry if I mislead you (and possibly others). I am referring to the 1964 Amphicar in post #13 of that thread. I know full well Amphicar is a standalone German marque.Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been there for quite a few years. I would get a photo of it above the stairs at least 3x a year when I was President/Webmaster for the Amphicar club.

DavidMc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 There is a good article on an Amphicar 770 in the March 2015 edition of the English magazine "Classic & Sports Car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
