Before we start the story of this particular exmaple, we have to mention that the Amphicars came to the world via Western Germany.

The vehicle was fully stripped before the restoration process began in 1999. The engine and the transmission were also taken care of, receiving new bearings and seals. The exterior was dressed in the original color. The list of new elements includes the tires, interior and convertible top.
The vehicle is currently for sale, being offered for a price of $45,000. Here is the “commercial” description of the car: ”The car has always been in a heated garage, and never driven in rain or snow. Prior to restoration, the car was a very good swimmer. Since restoration, the car has been driven about 100 miles per year, never in water.”
