1966 Amphicar Model 770 Convertible Numbers Matching Water Ready Low Mileage

1966 Amphicar Model 770 Convertible

Very rare and always appreciated by those who get to see them! Only 3. 78 of these amphibious cars were ever produced making them an excellent collection piece and future investment! Many have been swallowed up by museums throughout the world to forever been seen as simple conversation pieces.

Even our President Lyndon B. Johnson owned one that is now on display at his historical LBJ Ranch!!

In 1962. an American auto manufacture joined up with a German manufacture to produce the first factory built. public dual-purpose vehicle for land and water use.

The company was Amphicar and the Model 770 was born.

It was a street legal convertible. and a water ready boat all in one! Manufactured in small quantities each year from 1961 through 1965. only 3. 78 were said to have been when manufacturing stopped.

Late production examples were titled in the year they were first sold & registered. so finding 1966-1968 examples can be common.

All of which are now extremely rare and highly prized collectibles!

We are very proud to offer this exceptional 1966 Amphicar Model 770 finished in Regatta Red with White/Red interior and white convertible top.
