4-wheel-drive cabin in the woods. Chevrolet Blazer Chalet magazine
advertisement, 1977 The advertising copywriters went on: Did you
ever notice that the toughest places to get to usually turn out to
be the nicest places to stay? Too bad you couldn't have a neat
little cabin right in the middle of it all. With a new Chevy Blazer
Chalet, you've got it. Blazer Chalet also takes care of staying
there (in those nicest places). You take your cabin right with you.
Chalet has a permanently mounted fiberglass-reinforced plastic
camper body over a rigid steel frame. Convertible seats/bunks
provide seating for four or sleeping for two. Among Chalet's many
features are a dinette table, stainless steel galley, LPG stove,
and available heater. And a pop-up camper top allows for over six
feet of head room. Offered here is a rare opportunity to acquire an
original 1977 Blazer Chalet (serial number: 1221) that has been
properly cared for over 34 years by the same owner family and
recently fully restored. This special-purpose vehicle was built at
the Flint, Michigan Chevrolet assembly plant and delivered to
Derrow Chevrolet, of Defiance, Ohio to be purchased by its owner on
November 7, 1977, just in time for deer-hunting season. The Blazer
Chalet's odometer shows just 49,675 miles, fewer than 1,500 miles
per-year on average since new. Not only is this unique vehicle in
pristine condition, the sale includes extensive documentation
(build sheet and original window sticker) and the full packet of
literature (including the owner's manual) given to the owner at
purchase. The Blazer Chalet's exterior two-tone paint
colors-burnt-orange-and cream, with striping-were special and
unique to this model. (To see the extensive standard and
optional-equipment listing, be sure to view the window-sticker and
build sheet shown in the photo gallery.) All the paintwork is as
close to showroom-new in appearance as a 34-year-old vehicle's
could possibly be: smooth, evenly glossy, unmarred in any way. Body
panel alignment is excellent. One of many nice touches: the solid
cream color on the camper body features special striping which
matches and connects to the striping on the Blazer body. These
special Blazers may well have benefitted from added scrutiny during
assembly; body-panel fit is excellent. Chrome bumpers, mirrors, and
wheel-well trim-all part of the Cheyenne package-are all in
like-new condition. All factory badging-including the front-fender
K5 Blazer emblems, the rear-fender Cheyenne emblems (denoting the
highest available trim level on a Blazer at the time), and the
Blazer Chalet decals on the camper-are all in place. Cabin glass on
both the SUV and the camper is clear and free of cracks; all
lighting lenses are similarly pristine (notice how the camper's
separate taillights are identical to the Blazer's). The camper's
pop-up roof works as intended. The normally cargo-area-mounted
spare tire (a Uniroyal Laredo here) is mounted on a special
front-bumper carrier. Steel wheels with chrome trim rings are
mounted with Cooper® Discoverer AT3 XLT raised-white-letter tires.
Inside, the freshly restored condition of all surfaces is
exemplary: perfectly clean and unmarred. In the Blazer that
includes tan vinyl seat upholstery, burnt-orange carpeting, tan
