Vehicle Description
GM obtained the rights from Magna Steyr to produce a
limited-edition series and started Advanced Automotive
Technologies. Using a C5 chassis and drivetrain, AAT fit new front
and rear fenders, hood, decklid, headlights, taillights, bumpers
and trim, blending together the two styles for a car that pays
tribute to its heritage. Named the 1953 Commemorative Editions,
these cars feature all of the modern underpinnings and power of the
C5, but with the classic lines and look of the '53 Corvette. This
beauty is #005 of less than 200 ever built. Powered by a 350ci
8-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission, this Corvette
comes equipped with all of the normal AAT 1953 CE features plus
some exciting upgrades, including White Pearl exterior with white
soft-top, stunning custom red and white leather interior with
custom lettering on headrests, custom-built 3-piece wheels painted
to match the exterior, custom headers and special exhaust system,
tinted windows with special automatic functioning, custom engine
compartment and trunk area, 12-disc CD player and more. 22,324
actual miles (title reads mileage exempt). CARFAX shows
