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.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
