There are certain celebrities out there that everyone knows is a car guy. Leno, Eric Bana, and of course Billy Gibbons. Anyone who remembers the hay day of MTV, you know when they actually played music, remembers the Eliminator that was in several ZZ Top videos from “Legs” to ” Sharp Dressed Man.”
PowerBlock magazine which you may be familiar with from Spike TVs weekend series the PowerBlock, has done a nice interview with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame where he discusses having the Eliminator commissioned by So Cal Speed Shop in the late 70s, he also talks his other famous hot rod CadZZilla, a Boyd Coddington creation.
There are videos alone in the interview
Anyway, if you get a chance check out the PowerBlock interview, it’s worth a read and watch.
