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.

Watch these two videos on YouTube for more info. Please note that the one being sold is the one one the left in the first video. The second video shows the one that was sold.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

2016 Chevy Camaro teased as current-gen car prepares to hit 500k sales

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Just as Chevrolet prepares to launch the sixth-generation Camaro, the current, fifth-generation car is about to hit a major milestone: 500,000 units sold in the United States. That's impressive, and to celebrate, Chevy has released this video, showing the Camaro Z/28 doing what it does best around a race track. But that's not all there is to see in this video. At the end, Chevy gives us a glimpse at the sixth-generation Camaro, expected to debut in the not-too-distant future. Have a look, and check out Chevy's press blast, below, for more details about the 500k sales mark.

The fifth-generation Camaro has been a runaway success for Chevrolet since it went on sale in August 2009. Camaro sales passed Mustang in 2010, to become America's best-selling performance car – a title Camaro has retained for five consecutive years. In the process, the Camaro has helped bring new buyers to Chevrolet – with 63 percent of retail buyers new to GM. "The fifth-generation Camaro has clearly resonated with both long-time Camaro fans, and first time performance-car buyers," said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. "That sets the bar high for the next chapter of the car's history." Remarkably, the Camaro continues to gain momentum, even as the fifth-generation Camaro nears the end of production this year. In 2014, Camaro total sales increased 7.1 percent for its second-best year of sales since its introduction.
