Garry Stover, Gallipos, Ohio,  brought his 1934 Ford Coupe to Junction City for display adjacent to the stage where the tribute band ZZ KC performed Saturday night. They are a tribute band that performs the music of ZZ Top.

"I take it to car shows with the KC Eliminator Show ( that was on tap in downtown Junction City Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. ). I've also had it at other car shows and I had it with the original ZZ Top Band who autographed it on the dash," said Stover.

Stover noted that it took him about a year to build the car. He explained it's difficult to determine the value of this vehicle. "No one knows what it's worth, it's priceless because of the people that autographed it."

Stover said he has always been a fan of ZZ Top. "In 1984 when the Eliminator album come out I saw the come out and I told my mom I'm going to have one of those. Twenty years later I just decided to build it and make it."
