Amphicar Model 770 (1960 to 1968)

The Model 770 was a series of amphibious vehicles introduced in 1960 by Amphicar. The Model 770 was built in a two door, convertible body style, with power coming from a Triumph-sourced 1,147cc inline four engine mounted in the trunk of the car. On land, a four speed manual sent drive to the rear wheels, while on the water, the gearbox could be bypassed and drive sent from the engine to the rear-facing propeller. Although production of the Model 770 technically ended in 1963, since they were produced as a kit, the company was able to continue selling and registering cars until 1968. A total of 3,878 examples left the factory before operations ceased.
