I remember winning $10 off an idiot who SWORE that car was a deuce! Non gearheads loved that car and didn't have a clue.

Kinda like now a days.

That video brought back memories of when I was young and dumb and full of it. That's right...when I was a high-sculero. Now I'm just full of sh!t.

Thanks for posting something from my long lost memory lane.

yes, it has been a while seen I have seen that too. was that Paris Hilton's mother in the striped dress. kind of looks like her and some pretty bad lip syncing too. not my taste in cars, but can respect it for what it was (is) - sound effect in the beginning are nice and I didn't remember that part.

 

For a teenage gearhead back then, that video was heaven. Thanks, Billy and guys, I know you will see this............

 

Just another day in West Texas.

 

I have one of those key chains ! It`s been a long time since I saw that one.
good to see it again !

 

Wheels ain't traditional......the chicks are....sorta homely by Texas standards

 

Yeah, I got one too when I met Billy gibbons @ age 8. They were, and still are the shit.

 

Doooouugggghhh! I'm a wee bit jealous...
Maybe Stinky will put in a partition, and sublet?

 

Nice, I remember having my pic taken sitting in the 'Eliminator' at the Victorian Hotrod Show during setup one year when I was about 15(?) damn it, no keyring though.

 

There was nothing traditional about that car. It was and is pure street rod as it was designed and built. Like it or not.

 

Thanks for the memories. I used to listen to ZZ top while working on my car in my parents garage.

 

It may look a bit dated these days, but when the car appeared out of the heat haze all the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. Good memories!

 

Urban legend one of the Eliminators was found in Japan, in a basement under a bar? car had been stolen on tour.

 

Damn!!! Loved the music!! Loved the car!! Loved the beards!!! And the girls aren't too shabby either!!!

 

I had a 34 chevy 5 window but eveyone called it a ZZ Top car.
Thanks for the video.

Amen bro! Look up the original video for sharp dressed man.

 

1. Pre WWII Ford body.
2. Updated powertrain.
3. Updated suspension.
4. Improved interior.
5. Better wheels and tires than origonal.
6. Chopped top.
7. Non origonal (superior) fit and finish
All of the above ARE "traditional".

"Street Rod"- A hot rod whos primary function is aimed at street usage. The term was coined to try and desguise the "old time" misconceptions associated with auto enthusiasts whos primary activities centered around outlaw, rule breaking hoodlums, that proliforated the movies of the late 40's/50's.
According to Robert Peterson, founder of Hot Rod Magazine a "hot rod" is an automobile that has been improved in apppearance and performance to suit the owners tastes.
So, I guess that the ZZ Top car is definitly NOT a hot rod. Thanks for pointing that out as almost everyone I've encounteerd since it was built considered it to be one. Being clueless is a terrible cross to bear.
