this car went on a transamercia trip in 01' for a total of 9296 miles on ONLY bio-fuel made from hemp

Very cool!

Unfortunately, we are a LONG way from being able to open up enough closed minds to make such great things viable in the US, I'm afraid.

I hope I'm proven wrong...

I'm sure the Hemp Benz is still running , after being rebuild by
Scott Belbin, a NASA engineer. He rebuilt the drive train, inspected the whole car, and then painted the car. I will find out where it is. And try to rally a 2003 tour!!!!

Found out this morning that the HEMP BENZ is stilll running
in virgina ,but it not running on hemp oil anymore , becuase it's too expensive in the states , but it is still using only homemade bio-diesel, made from old fryer oil
heres the linkhttp://www.journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html

would like to get one of these 0319 running on bio-fuel

Is that a 108 to the right of the picture of the 0319?!

I remember seeing the hemp car on the road a few years ago, leading a motorcade of VW buses with hippie-types hanging out the windows smelling the exhaust.

Looks long enough to be a 108 but the bumper looks like its long on top so looks more like a 114/115.
Hard to say, either way its a benz.
nothing cooler than an old benz in an old movie in its prime.
bond movies w/ goldfinger, has a rompin pontoon
anyone seen marathon man where the fintail crashes into the gas truck and KABLAAM!
Sucks, waste of good parts
