This is by no means meant as a diss on Peter, but his email got me to
thinking....how many Amphicars truly are "restored"? Are any of them?
Except for the few originals, wouldn't they all fall under the category
of "fixed up" or "customized"? Mine is as stock as they come, but even
it has a non-stock bilge pump.

Thank goodness this particular niche of the automotive universe is not
inhabited by purists!
