What was the zz top car

But few hot rods have reached across the pages of automotive buff books into the imagination of the general public. It would be five long years before the car was completed.

Metal man Steve Davis crafted a slick three-piece hood, accented with scooped side panels. Thom Taylor designed the interior. Since Gibbons had every intention of driving the car, mechanical reliability was essential.

Underneath the hood rumbled a simple Chevy V8 with a Camaro Z28 cam and a four-barrel carb, mated to a Turbo transmission. The final fandango? A ZZ Top logo milled into the valve covers.

In , Monogram produced a model kit of the Eliminator, further cementing its fame. This rat rod hot rod is powered by a Ford flathead engine, which is paired with a S transmission. Billy named this car after the black and copper color. It's a five-window that was transformed into a three-window. Sign up for the Motorious Newsletter.

But when will we see these go national and start replacing human drivers? We tested 20 different shades while road-tripping in a Supra. The two new electric SUVs will be revealed in concept form shortly, and they'll be closely related like the brand's popular three-row SUVs.

We look at images, features and facts and compare it to its Toyota platform mate. The body was chopped some three inches leaving just a nine-inch rear and Steve Davis added in that three-piece hood with those signature side panels.

Kenny Youngblood added in the ZZ graphics to complete the look. Under the hood is a 5. The result was a retro car that could overtake many of the fast and modern ones with ease and even went from LA to New York with Gibbons driving it, with two passengers.

Gibbons may be a hot rodder, but as a true rock star, one of the passengers was one of the girls from the video. Quite the charmer, right?

The car in the video was bought by Gibbons from the original owner in Arizona. But the moment the videos went live on MTV, clamor to see the car for real arose equally loud. For some of the tours, Gibbons did take his car along but when the popularity of the car arose to great heights in somewhat crazed fans, Gibbons is said to have commissioned a clone, something he could take along his tours and keep his first and foremost love safe and sound in his garage. The clone was built by California Street Rods and Gibbons possesses both the cars, as well all his other hot rods till today.
