Description
For sale is beautifully restored '64 Amphicar - painted
in the original Fjord Green.
This car has only been in LAKE water since I've owned it. NO SALT.
The engine is a 1500cc Spitfire engine that was completely rebuilt - bored .020" over - w/ a 'peppier' cam than the stock cam - so it likely has ~90-100hp, vs the 43hp of the original 1147cc engine. It runs VERY strong.
It has the later model transmission - with an after-market dipstick - for monitoring transmission oil level as well as any water intrusion.
Also, has a 2-Barrell Weber carburetor - 32/36 DGEV (electric choke) w/ orig. Amphi air filter housing
Ceramic coated items: (for better heat mitigation)
Custom-made exhaust header
Aluminum intake manifold
Original style muffler
Stainless steel lower fan shroud (see photo)
In doing the interior - since I was never fond of the original 'apricot' color that came stock on the Fjord Green cars, I elected to use a green vinyl (marine-grade) that closely matches the body color.
The wheel brake cylinders have been machined and STAINLESS sleeves installed.This alone cost ~$500 plus considerable labor to re-fit.
The entire interior of the body (hull-?) has been 'Rhino-Coated' (LineX - ?) - and it has a 1/4" plexiglass floor panel - great for seeing all of the cabling, shifters, hoses, etc. in the bottom of the floor.
The car has been modified to be NEGATIVE GROUND. This also includes the correct Amphi clock that has been updated w/ new 'digital' internal works, as well as the wiring modification necessary for the fuel gauge to work w/ negative ground.
AM/FM radio
All electrical items work as they should.
Clear California title
For questions, or to schedule a personal inspection of the vehicle, call me at 949) 933-3384. Chris
*More photos to be added soon
**There are (4) short video clips posted on y.o.u tube showing the car going in & out of the water. SEARCH: "Almanor Amphicar"
