If you are into alternative power at all - check this out!! I run an '81 MBZ 240D on WVO.
At the end of the article they mention possibly marketing finished cars - should we lobby for conversion kits for our classic's?
Anyone in that area that could get an updated report?

Sadly, Cosimo is going out of business. All of his inventory of used classic parts is for sale.

Interesting project ... Actually I bought my '73 classic so that I could do an high-performance electric conversion at some point. It's nice to see someone else had a similar idea of alternative fuel in this classic.

Cheers,
Jeff

I believe there is more info on www.greasecar.com , especially if you are interested in this sort of thing. I ran a 300D on their system for a couple of years while commuting to school. Made everyone hungry from the smell.
