it's listed on ebay for only $100k. that's a lot of money for a little car like that. Any buyers?

How about that Prevost Bus that is amphibious? It was for sale not long about for high 6 figures, includes a swim deck. Seems perfect for Shasta and the like.

....I don' t believe it is insurable at a reasonable price as I'm betting it isn't Coast Guard approved...Escape is nearly impossible from what I can tell-there is no life rafts-nor did the "captain" have a PFD near her.....underpowered with a 3126/C-7 at 30K#....and a flat nose....MIGHT go 70 mph on a flat road with a tail wind at 5-6 mpg.....but if your going to pay 1.2 million who cares about fuel mileage anyway-cuz your just plain crazy to buy a rig like that anyway...maintenance is going to be extreem because of water/mud/sand/gravel and marine growth....I drove a military dukw some time ago and every time the owner took it swimming he had to spend 2 weeks lubeing/oil changes and like....and he knew what he was getting into......I think the New LCAC's are the most maintenance intensive craft besides the aircraft carriers.....geofkaye

.....another issue...the name???? "terra wind" sounds like a body finction of some sort. " Sorry, I have Terra Wind after eating 2 tocos"....I'll pass on this one....geofkaye
