Old Cars Made New and Eco-Friendly

Even with all the awesome new environmentally friendly car options out there today (like the Prius) there are a lot of people that can't give up their love for old, classic cars.  Luckily there are some creative folks out there that aren't letting the their love for the cars of yesterday keep them from being sustainable citizens.

Inhabitat has an awesome list up of 5 retro cars that were outfitted to be more eco. My favorite is the Green H1 Hummer:

"This retrofit could be the equivalent of making lemonade out of lemons, because it was conducted on one of least efficient vehicles around – the Hummer. Used for an Eco-Trek across the United States by Australian explorer Shaun Murphy, this H1 limo runs on biofuel and energy generated by its roof-top array of solar panels. The Hummer was mainly powered on Ethanol and soybean oil, but the owner and engineer Russel Gehrke also developed a “gasifier” that allowed the vehicle to capture hydrocarbon gasses from solid matter such as dog food, beans, stale cookies and left-over sandwiches. An added feature is that heat from the exhaust is used to power the “gasifier”, creating what Gehrke calls a “closed loop” system."

Now that is a "pimped" ride.
