Trim: 1977 RARE FACTORY K5 BLAZER CHALET NO RUST 4X4 -

GM only assembled less than 1,800 Blazer Chalets in the two years of production. In 1976 and 1977, GM offered its own camper conversions, known as the Chevy Blazer Chalet, There are plenty of slide-in campers inserted into pickup beds, but this is a completely different animal. They started with the Chevrolet Blazer as a base, and came straight from your Chevy or GMC dealer with a pop-up camper installed.The trucks were all shipped to Chinook Mobilodge in Washington state. The camper slides in where the Blazer’s hard top would normally be. Unlike the Blazer’s top, though, the Chalet wasn’t designed to be removed. The Blazer came off the same production line as a regular truck, and the camper shell was installed by Chinook. 

The Chalet offers many distinct advantages over the competition.The roof pops up so that adults can walk around at their full height. The Chalet is surprisingly roomy inside due to the headroom provided by the camper's extra height. The Chalet also features a propane cooktop, a small refrigerator, a sink and a closet, along with storage above the Blazer’s cab.The seating area in back includes two sideways bench seats with room for four.

In the middle of the living quarters, you have a table and seats for the daylight hours, and the whole magilla folds up and converts to a full-size bed at night.  It’s in fairly decent condition. The hood is showing some minor pimples of rust and a little on the passenger door. , but the more difficult rust areas like rear fenders, the floors and the rocker panels are in great shape. The paint is sun-faded, but you could probably have this thing looking super with a clay bar and a couple coats of wax. The truck is not mint, but it is as solid as you will find. It has spent its life out in the dry, Southern California weather and it shows. The body is dusty but not rusty. It is very complete and original and perfect for hauling your Harley.

If you’re looking for a toy to bang around the back roads and spend a night in the woods or go fishing or haul your bike somewhere, I couldn't imagine something cooler. 

The reserve is fair considering the rarity of these and the amazing condition of the body. I am able to help out with shipping at the buyer's experience. I have a lot of experience with shipping at very good rates. The truck is being sold as is with no warranty, and it is located in Hermosa Beach in Los Angeles so you are welcome to check it out prior to bidding. It is listed locally for sale, so I could end the auction at anytime.

When you price out old VW Campers, they do not come close to the reliability of this rare GM product. Not to mention that this 4x4 will get you into rivers and backroads that few other campers can do.

Thu, Feb 16 2023

The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.   2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander View 7 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2024 Volkswagen Atlas View 14 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport View 7 Photos 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with its carbon fiber wheels 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels View 7 Photos 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray View 10 Photos Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions View 3 Photos 2023 BMW XM 2023 BMW XM View 6 Photos Ram Revolution Concept Ram Revolution Concept View 6 Photos NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car — Toyota Camry NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car ?

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
