Re: 1976-77 Chevy Blazer Chalet / GMC Jimmy Casa Grande

EldoFan - one was auctioned in Valentine Neb last summer for $1800, rust free but sometime in its recent life somebody forgot to tie down the interior roof straps and it was obvious that the roof had popped open during transport and had blown clean off the vehicle. That would be a tough repair! Parts are scarce and not many are interchangeable with the Toyota/Datsun Chinooks of the same era. My gripe with the Earthroamer Jeep and other aftermarket pop top campers for Blazers & Jimmys is that they only have a window on one side. Chalets/Casa Grandes have great visibility out both side windows.

97 s-10baja - I think there might still be one for sale in Tacoma, definitely still one for sale in Spokane on Craigslist, plus one other guy has one somewhere in Seattle. Still, they aren't often seen unless you happen to be in the right place at the right time.

If anybody else is interested, PM me for a list of 19 for sale around the country. I'm not affiliated with the sales in any way, just want to see them go to appreciative homes.
