On land, the car has a four-speed manual transmission and reverse, while on water it is capable of driving both forward and reverse. the front wheels steer the car and act as rudders underwater. meanwhile, the exhaust exits through the rear panel of the body above the waterline, and the rear bumper guards prevent the twin propellers from running aground.

The Model 770 amphicar is currently up for auction and is in iowa.

The car’s body is finished in yellow and shows coast guard registration numbers painted along the fenders, and is defined by the fins on the top of the rear fender. meanwhile, the updated interior includes freshly upholstered vinyl bench seats and a two-spoke steering wheel in front of a 90 mph speedometer.
