This same photo  is featured multiple times under the search criteria "amphibious jeep" but always with the same basic, sketchy description.

I have not found another photo.

It is a Kaiser Willys prototype amphibious Jeep from, apparently, 1963 and seems to be a one off.

That's about the long and the short of it, though I'd like to see mention of the material it's constructed from, so I'll lock it for you to give me that.

Sorry, there is little information out there on this one.

The body is said to be made from fiberglass or glass reinforced polyster (GRP).

If you or anyone else has more information on this vehicle, it would be nice to see.

Yes, it seems to have been a prototype for a GRP-bodied amphibious Jeep, but I haven't been able to find out anything more.
Well done.
