The Amphicar Model 770 is a unique car that can be driven on both land and water. It was produced from 1961 to 1968, and a total of 3,878 units were built. The car was designed by Hans Trippel and manufactured by the Quandt Group in Germany. Its name is a combination of “amphibious” and “car”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Amphicar 770 uses a 4-cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor mounted at the rear that produces 43hp. The car’s top speeds are 7mph on water and 70mph on land, hence its car’s model number, 770.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This 1964 Amphicar Model 770 sold for $143,000 on Bring A Trailer<\/a> last year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the United States, 3,046 Amphicar 770s were imported between 1961 and 1967. The car was no longer imported after 1968 due to US Government regulations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, the Amphicar 770 is highly valued and sought after by collectors and can sell for more than $100,000 at auction.<\/p>\n
