"Priced-out" from amphibious cars, like the AmphiCar?

Now's your chance at a "Boatswagon", with unprecedented docking-light power! :D

Current bid: $6,789. :rolleye2:

The bow and windshield look similar to an old Glastron/Carlson CVX. Bad ass look!!! Always loved those old Glastron's ever since I first saw the movie Live and Let Die, (when it first came out!!). Showing my age...

This is an interesting auction; not one picture of the Hybrid Vehicle in the water!

All the pictures seem to be on asphalt. I wonder how water worthy this really is?

Certainly a "Funky" looking mode of transportation!

I didn't see any pictures of it in the water but I also didn't see any claims it is able to be run in the water.

And, looking at the underside pictures, with the exposed engine, I am sure it is all for looks.

But if you want to buy it I would be glad to be an observer (from shore) on your launch date.

This could be the new Boatie 3 :)
