1964 Amphicar 770

Few vehicles capture the imagination quite like the 1964 Amphicar 770 — a genuine marvel of engineering that turns heads on the boulevard and then glides effortlessly onto open water. Picture cruising the streets in classic red with the top down, drawing admiring glances at every turn, then rolling down the launch and letting the twin rear propellers take over as your convertible becomes a boat. This particular Amphicar carries something even rarer than its amphibious design: genuine provenance. Owned by the same family for more than 40 years and lovingly restored in 1986 by our consignor’s father, it retains its numbers-matching drivetrain and comes backed by original documentation. For the discerning collector, this is a chance to own one of the most distinctive and conversation-worthy machines ever built.
