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

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
