were those old Corvetter wheels on that thing? I have seen the video for this car b4, did it ever make it into production?

[WA 2 FST]

check the link Doug posted above. They do produce this car, but its a small operation. Yes, they do look like the C4 Vette wheels.

not interested but I wonder how much they want for one of those?

[WA 2 FST]

I'm not interested either, but I looked at the site and it shows the specs and everything. 300hp turbo-charged Subaru motor. 45mph on the water, 125mph on the road. I couldn't find the price posted anywhere.

ive rode in one before, i believe the guy said it was a 1965 amphicar, it was pretty intenst just driving off the boat ramp slamming into the water at 15mph:eek: , once we were floating he just engage the props controlled by a transfer case and away we went but this one only did about 7mph on the water and 55 on the road

that first one looks like a Camero that someone found on a catch-and-release program. The chick in the passenger seat looked nice, tho. :d
