John Varvatos Taps ZZ Top For New Ad Campaign

A recent John Varvatos ad campaign featured the musicians from Franz Ferdinand but the latest ads reach a bit further back into the music archives. To match his rock and roll fashions he has chosen the members of ZZ Top to star in his FW09 campaign. View on Fashion reports that Danny Clinch, a regular collaborator with Varvatos, is behind the black and white photos which have the band's three members posing in the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. The ads look great, maybe every girl really is crazy about a sharp-dressed man.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

This beautiful 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Spyder was the pride and joy of Frank Beard, the drummer for ZZ Top. ZZ Top's love of cars is well-documented in all those 1980s videos and this car was part of Beard's extensive collection. It was modified for Frank Beard by Greg Jones Restoration and Genaddi Design Group and has a signed plaque on the firewall. The custom, aluminum body was built in 1992 on a Ferrari 250 GTE Chassis that has been shortened and modified to accommodate the Spyder configuration. The 3L, 12 cylinder engine was converted to accommodate 6 twin-choke Webber carburetors. It also has a dry sump system, 5 speed manual transmission, fuel cell inside of an aluminum riveted gas tank, and original Dunlop disc brakes. The engine has just been rebuilt and it has Borrani wire wheels with stainless steel spokes. It is listed for $325,000.
