Selling a 1963 Amphicar

 

With a total of approximately 4,500 examples produced in Germany between 1961 and 1968, the Amphicar is perhaps one of the most unique and eye-catching automobiles in the classic car market today. The first non-military amphibious car to enter mass-production, the Amphicar is highly sought-after as a novelty collectible among enthusiasts and collectors alike. Within the Amphicar community, it is estimated that approximately 700 of these classics are still in use today, making them fairly rare – particularly those in good shape. If you’re looking to sell your 1963 Amphicar (or an Amphicar of any model-year), the Alex Manos team would be delighted to speak with you regarding your particular model. Throughout production in Germany, little would change on the Amphicar models from year to year. With that being said, originality, condition and rarity are perhaps the main drivers of Amphicar value in the market today. Similarly, those classics with additional factory options or upgrades often see higher values when compared to base models.
