A while back a fellow posted a message concerning building and marketing a
Schwimmwagen replica made of fiberglass.
I wonder if anyone knows if he followed through with it?
I'd love to have a Schwimm or a GPA, but I find myself considerably short of
funding for such a project. So I'm going to do the next best thing. I'm
going to build my own amphibian.
If I could start with a ready made body it would be quite a bit easier.
If anyone knows if this fellow did indeed proceed with his plan and built a
replica body, please let me know.
On a related matter, if anyone within a hundred miles or so of Wheeling, West
Virginia has an Amphib (GPA, Schwimmer, Amphicar, or whatever) and would be
willing to let me crawl under it and peek into it to see how some things are
done, please drop me a line and let me know.
Lastly, anyone interested in offbeat vehicles should taker a look at this
website to get a look at something really interesting that is available in
countries beyond the reach of the U.S. EPA and the NHTSA.
