The VW Schwimmwagen has four-wheel drive and runs on gasoline. According to Wikipedia, The Type 166 "is the most numerous mass-produced amphibious car in history" with 14,265 made from 1942 to 1944. Powered by a 25 hp, 1,131 cc engine, the 4-speed manual transmission has a 2-speed transfer case and its four-wheel drive works only in first gear and reverse. Also according to Wikipedia, only 189 specimens are thought to exist today by the Schwimmwagen Registry, of which only 13 have not been restored.
