Vehicle Description
This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette '53 AAT Commemorative Edition is an
extremely low-miles convertible and is by far the best documented
example we've ever seen. 2004 marked the conclusion of the Fifth
Generation C-5 Corvettes. While Chevrolet commissioned a concept
prototype with the intention that the car would become the 50th
Anniversary edition, General Motors opted for a more conservative
model instead. When the radical retro design was abandoned, a
longtime GM designer purchased the rights and factory molds, and
went on to create Advanced Automotive Technologies (AAT) the
eventual maker of the '53 Commemorative Edition Corvette. For a
base price of $32,500, AAT would convert a customer provided C5
Corvette Convertible into a show-stopping collectible that had the
performance of a late-model Corvette with the design influences of
a C1 1953 Corvette. Under the base package AAT Conversion, the
Corvette is outfitted with a new hood, new front and rear fascia,
new headlights and front turn signals,, side marker lights, a
chrome diecast grille, front and rear chrome bumpers, new rear
quarter panels, new taillights and backup lights, red painted brake
calipers, special White Pearl PPG paint, along with several
interior upgrades to give the car a 1953 C1 look. On this
particular example, the original owner purchased a brand new Arctic
White 2004 Corvette, then spent $32,500 on the base AAT Conversion
Package plus another $5,400 in optional upgrades. This particular
2-owner '53 Commemorative Edition Corvette is number 103 of 220 and
has less than 11,000 miles and comes with extensive paperwork
including the original window sticker, copies of the original
M.S.O. and title, copies of the AAT purchase order and copies of
the communications between the owner and AAT. Powering this AAT
Corvette is a Fuel Injected 5.7 Liter LS1 V8 that pushed out 350
horsepower when new. The engine compartment has a fantastic look
having been equipped with a carbon fiber dress up kit. The 5.7L LS1
V8 is mated to a 4 Speed Automatic Overdrive Transmission ensuring
that anybody can take this baby for a spin around the block.
Exhaust exits the engine through HPS Street Series Stainless Steel
Headers into a Borla Performance Exhaust which gives this C5
Corvette a nice throaty sound. This '04 Corvette is loaded with
options! Power Front and Rear Disc Brakes utilizing KVR drilled
rotors ensure that you can stop especially with all that horsepower
under the hood. All 4 wheels are also equipped with Anti-Lock
Brakes as well for safer stopping. Power speed sensitive rack and
pinion steering improves the driving experience and helps you get
in and out of those tight car show parking spaces. Power is sent to
the rear axle via a limited slip differential to ensure that you
keep the rubber to the pavement. Equipped with Dual Zone Climate
Control and Air Conditioning, you will stay cool on those hot
summer days and stay warm on a cool fall or spring night. The dual
outside mirrors are both powered and heated, though hopefully you
wouldn't be driving this beauty at a time where you'd need to heat
the mirrors. This C-5 Corvette is also outfitted with several
safety and security features such as air bags, seat belts, remote
key-less entry, and a security system. The exterior on this '53
Commemorative Edition Corvette was refinished by AAT in a beautiful
Pearl PPG White basecoat/clearcoat that harkens back to the
original '53 C1 Corvettes. The white vinyl convertible top is in
fantastic condition and is easily operated manually by a single
person. The interior on this '53 Commemorative Edition Corvette is
absolutely stunning! The Torch Red Leather Bucket Seats are in
fantastic condition as is the red carpeting. The red and white
leather door panels have a fantastic look as well. Even the door
sills were upgraded by AAT. The red leather dash and red/white
leather wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel are in superb
condition. The dash is equipped with a 200 MPH speedometer, 7,000
RPM Tachometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, battery
gauge, and fuel gauge. One of the unique features of the later C5
Covettes is the heads-up display which makes this car a joy to
drive. You'll also be able to listen to all of your tunes while
cruising since this convertible is equipped with an AM/FM/CD
entertainment system. Whether you're a Corvette Collector or you're
just looking to buy a classic car that you can just hop in and
drive, this 2004 Chevrolet Corvette '53 AAT Commemorative Edition
would make an excellent choice. Give us a call today!
