Convertible Chassis Num: 101799   Sold for $44,000 at 2010 RM Auctions. The Amphicar is powered by a 1147cc Triumph Herald engine, located amidship and driven through a German Hermes four-speed manual transmission. On land this was directed to the independently-sprung rear wheels and in the water to twin propellers. In both land and water, the front wheels were responsible for the steering. The doors had unique and special seals to aid in keeping the inside (hull) watertight. The front compartment housed the fuel tank, tools and spare tire. This example was given a cosmetic restoration around the early 2000s. It is painted in blue with a white and tan vinyl interior. The car is equipped with a modern alternator and comes with two life jackets and a bag of nautical lines. In 2010, this Amphicar 770 Convertible was offered for sale at RM Auctions 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' sale in Amelia Island, Florida. The car was estimated to sell for $40,000-$60,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car has been sold for the sum of $44,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.
