John Bonham left behind an impressive car collection, ranging from modest-sized models to the most ostentatious, revealing the extravagant taste of the Led Zeppelin drummer. He bought a Hot Rod so striking that it appeared in one of the band's movies.
In the 1976 documentary "The Song Remains The Same", the grand vehicle makes an appearance, hard to miss due to its size, design, and prominent classic elegance.
John Bonham drove a classic Ford Model T Hot Rod, with a robust design and availability of parts that made it an ideal base for creating a unique and powerful machine. This customized piece was built in the '70s by Andy Brizio in San Francisco and later shipped to the UK especially for the drummer Bonzo.
This two-door acquisition, with leather seats, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive, was considered at the time a vehicle that allowed total customization to suit its owner's taste, modifying performance and image aspects with the opportunity to combine modern and classic elements.
This Model T, built in the 1970s by Andy Brizio in San Francisco, was anything but ordinary. Brizio transformed it into a high-performance Hot Rod, equipping it with a Chevrolet V8 engine of 327 cubic inches, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
The interior was equipped with comfortable, spacious seats and other elements that made it ideal for sporty driving, along with simple indicators that were easy for the driver to understand.
This "Andy's Instant T", as Bonham's model was also known, had a starring role in Led Zeppelin's movie "The Song Remains the Same". The scenes of Bonham driving this vehicle at full speed became a rock and roll icon. What do you think of the drummer's most extravagant purchase?
