hi
california truck and title and registration.
purchased this truck while still living in florida about 5 months ago with intentions of having a few upgrades done-then using for daily driver once i moved to california-had truck in storage during this time-in CA. now i have moved to CA but without my previous job-career change-vehicle change.
truck currently sits in my covered parking garage bc registration date has run out. i have not titled or registered to my name-no reason to if I'm selling and no CA DL yet. i have however drove the truck about 12 times before registration ran out. sounds amazing-deep and throaty. runs 70 down highway wo issue. previous owner told me no mechanical issues and i haven't found any.
overall very solid truck and relatively unmolested-that i can see. 

heres what i know is bad:
windshield crack
driver side window needs crank knob
radio-has factory radio and a modern digital/radio/cd in glove but either i don't know how to work it or its not hooked up
quarter size rust spot on bottom outside of drivers side door---this is the only rust i have found or know of
interior light needs a new lens and a bulb or wire not sure
the hood is a little off-just barely enough to notice-not sure if easy adjustment or if its more work-i can't see any evidence that truck has ever been wrecked
bench seat is not bolted to floor-but doesn't move when driving-previous owner replaced carpet w new black carpet but didn't finish bolting
there is a rip in bench seat
steering wheel missing horn center cap-which I'm not sure-could be reason why horn not working
exterior paint is not shiny or perfect-and has some white paint drops in various spots around truck-maybe truck was a part time painters truck? it has a very good looking matte/antique/weathered looking green paint that appears factory-i bought specifically for this look and had no intentions of changing it. i was however going to have a body shop wet sand the white paint marks off the green that would just add a little more character to paint in the process-but didn't get a chance to have anything changed.

i think thats all-easy little stuff-nothing that worried me when i was shopping. 

the good:
like i said-looks to me like very little molestation
very factory and original
very solid body
very solid mechanically
issues are small and manageable 
there is also a hard fiberglass bed cover that locks-kind of cool-can keep or take off-no big deal
oh and i have a book of receipts-paperwork-service records about an inch thick from years past 

truck is super cool cruising around town-needs an owner that will appreciate this and give it the time needed to make it even better.
THE LAST PICTURE IS NOT THIS TRUCK-ITS WHAT THIS TRUCK COULD BE-I WAS GOING TO HAVE MADE INTO THIS-ITS SAME MODEL AND YEAR

please ask questions or come see in person-or i can send specific pics.
ill have to say this was going to be my first classic truck and i will readily admit that I'm no pro or mechanic-so do any inspections you want---no warranties and no refunds please.
i could drive to shipper for you if needed-for example if international shipping was needed.
and i would recommend uship.com for shipping in states-may save up to $600 depending where you are?
thank you

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
