Description
For sale is beautifully restored '64 Amphicar - painted
in the original Fjord Green.
This car has only been in LAKE water in the 13yrs I've owned it. NO SALT. ~900 miles since restoration.
The engine is a 1500cc Spitfire engine that was completely rebuilt - w/ a 'sportier' cam than the stock cam - so it likely has ~90-100hp, vs the 43hp of the original 1147cc engine. It runs VERY strong.
Also, has a 2-Barrel Weber carburetor - 32/36 DGEV (electric choke) w/ orig. Amphi air filter housing, and aluminum intake manifold. Has a custom-made header, and an electric fuel pump.
It has the later model transmission - with an after-market dipstick - for monitoring transmission oil level as well as any water intrusion.
Ceramic coated items: (for better heat mitigation)
Custom-made exhaust header
Aluminum intake manifold
Original style muffler
The entire interior of the body has been 'LineX' coated (durable truck bed-type spray-on liner) - and the exterior of the hull has been undercoated w/ professional-grade under-coating.
It has a 1/4" plexiglas floor panel - great for seeing all of the cabling, shifters, hoses, etc. in the bottom of the floor.
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 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 modifications necessary for the fuel gauge to work w/ negative ground.
It has a Stainless steel lower fan shroud (see photo)
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
**There are (4) short video clips posted on Y.O.U tube showing the car going in & out of the water. SEARCH: "Almanor Amphicar"
