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

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.
