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.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
