The ET Shop was on Cicero Avenue about a mile from Nickey Chevrolet. It was in business at the same location into the 90's. Ed

The ET shop was on Belmont ave in Chicago then moved to a Goodyear dealer on Grand just east of Harlem and then opened a second shop in Addison. They used to sponsor my Chevelle. I do not remember them being on Cicero The Chevy shop was on Cicero

You're right. I was thinking of the Chevy Shop on Cicero. It's tough getting old?

Schoneye's got the story nailed. I recall have 2 pictures of this car with the wheels up (no jack stands!), somewhere......

A car just like that was at a local car show this month, real window sticker, yenko docs, etc. License plate reads as 'a real one' I think. I dont live that far from oswego, it has to be the same car. Fully restored and perfect. I will post some pictures soon of it that I took. Nice to see some past history of it on this thread.

There is a green one like this race car which is owned by a retired Aurora police officer. He had it at the SuperCar Reunion at Joliet in the show area.
