TIPS FOR PROSPECTIVE WEB-TOED MOTORISTS
Those looking for an Amphicar to buy, especially first time buyers, should be encouraged to memorize Mike Israel's excellent and comprehensive Amphicar Buyer's FAQ, which has recently been updated and revised. Another popular place nowadays for buying and selling Amphicar parts, collectibles and whatnots, sometimes entire cars, is ebay™. To perform a worldwide search for all current Amphicar-related auctions in progress that also filters out most of those time wasters who are really selling something like grommets for a '62 Snordley, but who just lobbed the word "amphicar" into the auction's text as part of a spammy "calling all cars" bait-n-switch come-on, just click here.
You should also be aware that even though you may have seen a few cars advertised for boat-loads of cash, it DOES NOT mean they are getting that price! We have seen those overpriced cars too, and they rarely (if ever) sell at even close to that price. Do your homework by asking a club member or restoration expert what they believe the car may be worth. It could save you that preverbal boat-load of cash you will need to restore it.
Elsewhere, primarily serving our amphibious motoring friends outside of North America (and usually vehicles other than Amphicars) you'll find René Pohl's Amphibious Marketplace in Germany and Hans Rosloot's Wanted Ads for Amphibians in the Netherlands. Both sites are in English.

For Sale - Brand new aluminum moldings-thin style |
|
These
moldings have the same profile as the original and are
finished in bright dip anodizing just as the originals
were. Each piece has been fitted to an actual Amphicar for a correct fit. ABOUT THESE MOLDINGS; Here is an alternative to the Stainless Steel molding soon to be available elsewhere. There were several thicknesses of molding made for the Amphicar. This is the thin style. We started off by having a die designed to extrude the aluminum. Twenty foot long extrusions were made and the metal was annealed to make it soft for bending. Next, the pieces were formed with dies and bucks (forms). Each piece was then hand fitted to my project car. Also, two donated rear fins were mounted on stands and used to fit the long rear fender pieces. Pieces with extra long ends are also available if you feel your car is out of the norm and you don't mind trimming the ends. We then had the metal heat treated to put the strength (what little there is) back in. Lastly, the pieces have been polished and anodized in bright dip which was the original finish.

Why take chances with you prized Amphicar and more importantly, your passengers? Other materials or thin, rusting 1/4 panels will not resist punctures or cracking upon impact (especially in cold waters) are simply unsafe.
Hand made by Dave himself, so you know they are properly manufactured. Rear quarter panels with raised lip. 19 gauge. One piece, six feet long. $400.00 each or $700.00 per pair. - Crating and shipping extra. From a man who knows what he's speaking about.... "I just saw that Dave (Midwest Amphicar) is now advertising his raised lip quarter panels on Amphicar.com at $700 + shipping for both sides. I honestly expected to see them priced at close to twice that amount. This is more like Mustang part prices than Amphicar. You could not have these made for that price and there is nothing else on the market that even comes close. It is not just the lip, being one piece eliminates a big weld line resulting in a stronger, longer lasting unit. The panel is also contoured as it should be and will not require all of the rework that is needed on the two piece components out there.. Dave does great metal work. I suggest that every Amphi owner should order a set today, before Dave comes to his senses and raises the price. Put them away with the rest of your parts stash, if you use your Amphi in the water, (you will need them eventually. - Mike I" (Yahoo Amphicar Lovers Group Admin)

Amphicar Air Filter Element If you've been to the corner auto supplies joint lately, you'll know that it is now no longer possible to cross the Amphicar air filter with any of the popular brands found on their shelves these days: Not Fram, Wix, Purolator, Napa, etc., etc. This economical filter has a microlite filter element and is an exact fit for your Amphicar. By getting a special batch of these, I am able to pass the savings along to you. Instead of the $19 charged by specialty parts sources elsewhere, you can have a brand new perfect filter that'll let your Amphi breathe properly for just $12 (plus $3 shipping). Get a few while you can! |

In the midst of restoring my first of two Amphicars, I found I needed a fix for my rusted driveshaft tunnel ends. I discovered there was no off-the-shelf fix for this common restoration problem that's so critical to Amphicar water safety, so at considerable cost I had the body shop restoring my car design a replacement that looks and works just as good as the original. Now I can supply anyone with a pair of rugged tunnel ends for just $100. If you have any questions, I can be contacted at (860) 977-0808 or through my website at www.amphicarsbychris.com, where you can also see lots of photos of some of my other Amphicar parts restorations.

For Sale - High Performance Clutch System & Improved Late Style Drain Plug |
|
If you're tired of the chatter and wear problems inherent with the Amphicar clutch, here is a high performance clutch system that is a drop in replacement for that weak old clutch. No modification is required to anything in the car. It simply bolts in place and will replace that weak, chattering spring clutch system with a high performance diaphragm clutch. After using this system for several thousand miles I removed the engine to check for wear to the clutch system. Absolutely no wear was evident. The system operates smoothly and quietly and doesn't change your clutch pedal pressure. This clutch system is so much stronger than the original that, given reasonable driving, I would expect this to be the last clutch your Amphicar will ever need.
The throw out bearing holder is a drop in replacement
for your original unit and it spaces the release bearing in the proper
position to operate perfectly in your Amphicar. The system consists of:
Just $550 plus shipping for the whole system.

Improved Late
Style Drain Plug If you have a late model Amphicar, with the large bilge plug, you know how difficult it is to remove and install and how it often leaks. Here is an improved plug that won't leak and makes removal and reinstallation easy to do without tools. Simply unscrew the wing nut to loosen and remove the plug. When reinstalled, the plug has two positioning pins that engage into the small holes around the bilge opening to lock the plug in place. The metal parts of this plug have been powder coated to eliminate rust problems and rubber parts are installed that aren't attacked by immersion in oil. Just $29.50 plus $6 shipping |
