It looks like a VW bus.  That's probably what happened to it.  Hard to 
imagine flying/floating a $50,000-$100,000 plane that looks like something

you usually see broken down on the side of the highway (and is 20+ years 
older than the average VW bus.)

I have a photo somewhere of one that was recovered from the Mt. St. Helens

area after the eruption but I can't remember the story behind it.
It looks pretty cooked.  It's the only one I've seen personally that I can

remember.

I see a couple have sold for $50,000 or so.  Probably require an overhaul 
and I wonder if they still float, but that's not bad at all for an amphib.
