Modele 770

Everybody on this side of the Atlantic thinks 770 refers to 7 knots water speed and 70 mph road speed. But in the 1967 Amphicar Shop Manual the "770" referred to the engine's Torque in pounds-inches....which was about 64 in pounds-feet. By contrast a Buick Invicta had 445 pounds-feet of Torque.
