Rock legend, Neil Young, created a company called Linc Volt Technology that will focused on converting conventional gas gars into alternative energy vehicles. Young has decided to start with his own 1959 Lincoln. Not much else is known about the company such as what sort of electric engine technology will be used in the vehicles.

Young’s dream is to inspire people to take the steps to reduce dependence on foreign oil in order to combat global warming as well as help the economy.

According to Young:

"All we’re doing is showing that you can run a car like this at 100 miles per gallon or more,"

Great idea, but I wonder how much retrofitting a classic car would cost.
