Vintage Car Conversions

Neil Young is raising awareness of alternative fuels with his converted 1959 Lincoln. His new company, Lincvolt, is developing propulsion systems for BIG CARS that outperforms hybrids.

He's building a community of drivers - if you want to "transform your (vintage) car into a lean, green driving machine," you can upload your photo here. Read/watch more about his history-making road trip here.

Do-it-yourselfers can download plans for converting any car to electric here. And here is a cheaper and easier hack that creates a mini-hydrogen booster for any engine using plain tap water. (Yes, really).

Is anyone in our community driving retro-electric yet?
