3rd Coast Motors is a boutique Classic and Used Car Dealer that was founded in Norton Shores, Michigan in 2023 with three guiding principles – Quality, Value and No Hassles. We continually monitor market conditions to keep our pricing* in the “Fair/Good Deal” categories on web sites like CarFax, Cars.com and others. We can arrange shipping anywhere in the US.

**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! What you pay is the advertised price plus sales tax (and shipping if necessary). When comparing our price to the price for similar vehicles at another dealer make sure that the other dealer is quoting you the “out the door” price.

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)
- The hood and the doors are in reasonably good shape.
- Both of the front quarter panels probably need to be replaced.
- The rear quarter panels might be able to be repaired, but they also might need to be replaced
- The driver side rocker panel looks pretty solid. The passenger side needs to be repaired or replaced
- Overall, the frame looks pretty solid. There is some surface rust and there are a couple of places that need to be repaired
- 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 camper rear seats are in very good condition
- 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
