Somebody here is tracking Chalets...not sure if this one is accounted for?

Glad you could get the screengrab of the post, since I'm not a member of any FB groups and otherwise would not be able to view the post there. Did a search of the owner name in my mega=spreadsheet, and from that to my photos which show the same circle decal in the side window, this is #0237, built in 7/76. Yep, on my radar, but I never turn down any new updates on the ones I know of. First saw this one in a 2013 ad / video, and then again when the current owner posted at Miles Blackard's FB page that he owned what was left. Blazer must have been too far gone to be worth saving. The Youtube walkaround of the complete rig in the junkyard from 2013 still works (mislabeled as a '77):

Thanks - knew of this one back in February, #0466, but not of its $4500 price drop this week, so I updated my map listing price for it tonight.

Never heard of "Facebook Reels" before, haven't logged into my FB page to look for Chalets in a month or more. Thanks for the update - this one I learned from this owner via his Feb 2021 Facebook page, it is #1189 built in 9/76. Story is that he knew of it parked in the Texas woods for at least 15 years and was always trying to see of the owner would sell it, and finally talked the guy into it last year. Paint was preserved well enough to polish up quite nicely, but other bits like the stripes and back door decal are not so happy. Not often, though, that the vinyl stripes stay stuck to the back in a continuous diagonal line.210K views · 8.8K reactions | #squarebody #c10talk #savethesquares #k5blazer #k5 #blazer #chevrolet #squarebodylife #heavychevy #6772chevytrucks #squarebodynation #c10 #k10 #c10talk #mastercrafts #roughcountry #texas #squarebodytrucks #liftedtruck #l

Many thanks for snagging the screen grab of that, which includes the name of the guy who spotted it. I'll try contacting the guy to see if more info is available on it. Don't readily recognize it, but then all '76 models look pretty much the same apart from smaller details.
no info on this one.. just interesting..
Many, many thanks for spotting this guy's sighting of it! Three tell-tale indicators this one is Chalet #1221. First, "from Grand Rapids", second, no rub strip on the front bumper, and third - most alarming of all - the crooked roof top. The GarageKept dealership has been unable to unload that rig going back to Aug 2021 because of its massively too-high price ... until just recently since it's website shows it now as Sold. Notice the missing rubstrips in their photo gallery. This is also the same rig that previously had its stripes repainted in the wrong top-to-bottom color shade sequence that also had giant donk wheels. Watch also at the 1:45 spot in this 2 minute Facebook video how its roof is trying to go sailing off. Whoever this new hapless owner is, he's going to be in a bigger world of hurt if he doesn't tie the roof down better.
(*Jan 12 update -- messaged the spotter on Facebook, he said the owner was aware of the roof being loose and was making efforts to tie it down better. Also emailed the guys at the GarageKept classic car dealership, they confirmed that it is Chalet #1221 and that they advised the new owner about the roof situation. And they further said that this is the same Texas motorsports guy who owns another Chalet, and the moment I saw the Instagram account they had for him, I recognized that he was the March 2019 eBay auction winner of Chalet #1203 which - unknown to him at the time - had a completely non-original camper interior and that one of the prior owners had permanently glued its pop-up roof down.)

Multi, many thanks for spotting this one! The seller does a disservice to himself by not putting the word "Chalet" in the listing. From the several distinctive details here - the Pontiac TransAm-style "thunder chicken" decals on the camper sides, the incorrect camper stripe replacements, and the non-factory spare carrier with those driving lights - I don't recognize it in my mega-spreadsheet list. I've asked the seller to include more photos (sometimes they do, more often they don't since I'm not a buyer). Would be worthy to check out. The additional photos I could use would be of the VIN tag in the driver's side door jamb and (if it's still there) the blue & white RPO tag in the glove compartment, along with a photo of the full back, and then a close up of the camper serial number tag under the black plastic oval tag by the back door. If there's any Chevy dealership logos on the back that aren't readable from a distance, I could use a close up of that, too. No obligation, of course, it's a gift to the overall community on gathering more photo info on all of these that are still out there.
Its close buy and one of the guys from work might go check it out, it’s definitely not anywhere worth $15k.
Here is super rare #47

Seller's Description
PRICE IS FIRM This K5 Blazer is an awesome piece of American car culture history. There were only 1,800 made and this is # 47 . Mechanically it runs and drives perfect 4x4 works. could use some cosmetic restoring. This truck is all original never has been restored. Has some rust here and there but nothing too bad. All original parts are there headliner is sagging down the canvas on the pop top has some tears. The price is completely firm I will not take any less the only reason for selling is I am buying a Corvette and need exactly $30,000 I will rather not sell if any less
Thanks for the alert!
More like somewhat rare. I tried to contact the seller back in November (when I added his rig to my Google Map of Rigs.Camper Units For Sale) that his rig is #0488 and not #0047, but got no reply. I just sent him a message via FB's Messaging system, that might prompt him to put in the correction. Judging from the rust, he might consider an alternative less expensive Vette ...
Thats a lot of rust, so there is always more you can’t see.
