website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that
you've only seen some of our many photographs of the camper-SUV due
to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the

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 dash with Cheyenne-package woodgrain trim, the same
trim on the doors with storage pocket
