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

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Chevy Sail 3 lands in China

Sun, Nov 23 2014

Shanghai General Motors took 32 cars to this year's Guangzhou Motor Show, with its Chevrolet Sail 3 leading the way. After putting almost 1.4 million of them into Chinese hands, the third generation of the Bowtie's entry-level sedan wants to "take the nameplate and the segment to a new level." Its new architecture sporting a 1.4-inch longer wheelbase supports a growth spurt of two inches in length and 1.8 inches in width. The exterior also gets "eagle eye-shaped" headlights and "dual-c-element taillights." Under the hood will be either a 1.5-liter DVVT or a 1.3-liter VVT, each of them more powerful and more frugal than previous offerings. Both can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission, and qualify for listing in China's National Energy-Saving and Eco-Friendly Vehicle Catalogue, as well as a 3,000 renminbi rebate ($490 US). You can read more about it in the press release below, and get more info on the Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition, Corvette Stingray Coupe, Buick Regal GS and Excelle XT also introduced at the show. Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac Take Center Stage at Guangzhou Auto Show - New Chevrolet Sail 3, Camaro RS Limited Edition and Corvette Stingray Coupe make China debut - Buick showcases customized Regal GS and Excelle XT - Shanghai GM announces new telematics strategy featured in upcoming Cadillac product GUANGZHOU, 2014-11-20 – Shanghai GM is displaying 32 vehicles from the Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac brands at the 12th Guangzhou International Auto Show, which begins today and runs through November 29 in Guangzhou. Among the products that are making their China debut are the third-generation Chevrolet Sail 3, Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe. In addition, Buick is showcasing a customized Regal GS and Excelle XT, and Shanghai GM is announcing its new telematics strategy that will be featured in an upcoming Cadillac product next year. Chevrolet Sail 3 Entry-Level Family Car Since its introduction 15 years ago, the Sail has been a driving force in the entry-level family car segment. Nearly 1.4 million Sails have been sold across China. The third-generation Chevrolet Sail, named the Sail 3, will take the nameplate and the segment to a new level when it goes on sale nationwide by the end of this year. Built on Shanghai GM's new-generation small car architecture, the Sail 3 has adopted Chevrolet's new design language. It has a sculpted yet slim exterior with a youthful, dynamic feel.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
