KEY POINTS:
Neil Young, the rocker who provided some of the soundtrack to Vietnam-era protests, is trying to change the world again - with his car.
Young has teamed up with Johnathan Goodwin, a Kansas mechanic who re-engineers big cars to get more horsepower with less fuel.
The pair want Young's 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible to operate on an electric battery and hope to provide a model for the first affordable mass-produced electric-powered automobile.
