Hydrogen Cars for Sale
It's not often you hear the phrases "Hydrogen Cars for Sale"
or "Hydrogen Trucks for Sale." This is because there
are no commercial production hydrogen cars for sale or hydrogen
trucks for sale at the moment and it may be up to 5 years until
there are.
But as fortune would have it there is an experimental prototype
hydrogen car for sale and a hydrogen truck for sale right now.
Both of the vehicles were used as "proof of concept"
automobiles and have since fulfilled their purpose and simply
fill someone's garage.
The first hydrogen car for sale recently was up for auction on
eBay but didn't sell for $9,000. This hydrogen car is a 1972 AMC
Gremlin with a Ford engine.
According to the advertisement that ran, "This is one of
the first modern day Hydrogen-powered automobile experiments,
developed by a team at UCLA. The car was a collaborative effort
with donated components from General Motors, Ford Motor Company,
George Barris (http://www.barris.com ), Hooker, Edelbrock, Union
Carbide and Impco, (a company that specializes in alternative
fuel products).
"Yes, its one of a kind!! It won the overall Urban Vehicle
Design Competition in 1972; a one-time event that brought together
64 North American universities in a contest to see who could build
the most innovative vehicle.

"American Motors donated the Gremlin
to the project. Ford provided a powerful Boss 351 engine,
the same kind used in limited-edition Mustangs at the time.
The Gremlin has been featured in several museums, including
Harrah's Automobile Museum in Reno. Please contact to hear
more about this piece of automobile history. Full log books
and documentation are also included. Serious buyers only
PLEASE!"

According to the UCLA
college website, this hydrogen car for sale was part of the
1972 UCLA Hydrogen Car Project. The Gremlin was a product of the
students and faculty who worked on the project including Frank
Lynch, Joe Finegold, Ned Baker and Albert Bush.
There is some controversy surrounding this hydrogen car for sale,
however. The claim by the UCLA website and the auto's caretaker
is that it won the 1972 Urban Vehicle Design Competition. This
same claim was also made by Roger Billings in 1972 with a Superbeetle
in the same competition which is outlined in the history
of hydrogen cars section.
The hydrogen powered Gremlin is presently warehoused in Florida
by the car collector. Call Damon at 1-813-789-6125 for details
on buying this one-of-a-kind hydrogen car for sale.
Now, hydrogen trucks for sale are a different matter. As with
cars, there are several dealers that will, for a fee, convert
a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle to run on hydrogen.
But, the next hydrogen truck for sale that I want to talk about
is not one of these. The hydrogen
truck for sale that I want to talk about and already have
in fact is a 2006 Ford Ranger XL Extra Cab. The vehicle has 24,000
miles on it and the asking price is $15,000.

The hydrogen truck for sale is owned by
a Mr. Dan Greenberg in Seattle, Washington who worked in
this hydrogen on demand vehicle a couple of years back when
he was working for a certain company.
|
 |
The company has since folded and now Mr. Greenberg has no use
for the vehicle since hydrogen fueling stations are scarce in
his part of the country. This hydrogen truck for sale comes fully
loaded and can run on hydrogen, CNG or a combination of CNG and
hydrogen called hythane.

sale, see hydrogen
truck for sale specs and you may just be the next owner of
your own leading edge hydrogen powered vehicle.
