**An important note on Pricing. Many dealers charge additional “Dealer and/or Document” fees that can be anywhere from $300 to $1,500! We have no hidden, surprise, add on fees!

Vehicle History
3rd Coast Motors is offering this Blazer Chalet for sale under consignment to the current owner who is the widow of the last owner. It actually wasn’t really found in a barn! It has been stored in a garage owned by the widow for the past seventeen years.
The last owner of this Blazer Chalet owned a large Used Car Dealership in Fruitport, Michigan for 50 years. The best the widow could recall, he owned it for 10 - 15 years prior to when he passed away and it was put into storage. The owner was used it primarily for hunting and camping trips in West Michigan.
Vehicle Condition
This is a 100% original, 100% complete Chevrolet Blazer Chalet Restoration Project that has been sitting for seventeen years. It will require a total restoration. Here is what we know:
- Even though it has been sitting for seventeen years, it started right up!
- There was black smoke coming out of the exhaust during the whole time it was running (see the videos)
- Most of the body panels will need to be replaced. Some of them might be able to be repaired
- There is some surface rust on the frame, but, overall, it looks pretty solid
- It will definitely need tires and brakes!
- The interior is complete. The dash is not cracked
- The front seats are in reasonably good condition
- The carpet needs to be replaced.
- Because the camper body is fiberglass, there is absolutely no rust!
- The interior of the camper looks complete, but it definitely needs to be cleaned, inspected and restored.
Included with the Vehicle
- Two sets of keys
