While someone named Daryl selling an El Camino isn't usually news, it is when it's Daryl Hannah's matte black Biodiesel El Camino. World colliding man. Worlds colliding. The Chi-town native, actress and environmentalist will gladly sell you this factory diesel bio-conversion, along with the "fueling station" (read: storage drum and filter) and a guide to finding biodiesel in your area. WANT! It goes on sale later this month, but no price yet. Oh, and she's also selling a biod "ranch biobeast" for the low price of $14,999. Full pics and spelling error-filled details below (we're not hating, in fact we think her spelling matte black "matt black" is a sign she secretly likes us):
We just got a tip from our guy Skiny (above), idea man and Audi Avant road-rallyist. His latest project involves a ragtag group of diesel engineers, celebrities and related cohorts. Their mission is to field a 100% biodiesel team to run the Tecate Baja 1000 in November. Heavyweights Bosch and Gale Banks Engineering are reportedly on board to work up three stock truggies (those are the half truck, half dune buggies Baja types use for their intradesert runs). And there's talk of biodiesel proponent and driver of a veggie El Camino Daryl Hannah, and Hayden "That Anakin Guy" Christensen, being involved in some capacity. More details to come when Skiny decides to spill the whole thing. No word on whether the bio juice will come from corn or cactus hooch. – Mike SpinelliMore »
Henry Rollins once had a spiel from the late '80s on how he puts Daryl Hannah's name on the list for all of his gigs, hoping that she'll walk by and say something to the effect of, "Wow! Henry Rollins! That sounds wild! I'm gonna check that out." And while, as revealed in today's podcast, 3/4 of the current operating staff aren't supposed to rock the leche con carne (although at least one has a penchant for cheeseburgers), the other 1/4 has been a vegetarian for the last eleven years. He also owns the most inefficient car of the bunch. And of course, he's the one who used to drive his El Camino down El Camino Avenue to El Camino High.
