Restoring an World’s Rarest Amphibious Car: Restoring a Rusted 1960s Amphicar 770 Found in a Swamp.

Описание: Restoring an World’s Rarest Amphibious Car: Restoring a Rusted 1960s Amphicar 770 Found in a Swamp.

We discovered a legendary 1960s Amphicar 770 rotting in a swamp and decided to attempt the impossible. Watch the full restoration of the world’s most famous amphibious car as we see if it can still sail after 60 years of rust.

The Amphicar 770 is a marvel of 1960s engineering—a car that doubles as a boat—but finding one submerged in a swamp felt like a death sentence for the rare metal. This specific unit had been claimed by nature, with murky water filling the cabin and the dual propellers seized by decades of silt. Most collectors would have walked away, but we saw a chance to bring a "swamp monster" back to life.

In this deep-dive restoration, we tackle the unique challenges of amphibious tech. We aren't just worried about the engine running; we have to ensure the hull is 100% watertight. From rebuilding the rear-mounted Triumph engine to sourcing the specialized marine seals that keep the Atlantic Ocean out of the footwells, every step was a gamble. The stakes have never been higher—if we get one seal wrong during the final "Maiden Voyage" test, months of work will sink to the bottom of the lake. Witness the journey from a mud-filled wreck to a dual-purpose masterpiece. Is it a car? Is it a boat? After 500 hours of labor, it’s finally time to find out.
