Yep. Chalet #1221, built in 9/76.
The longer backstory is this is the same seller that succeeded (so far) in auctioning off
the Michigan Chevy dealership Chalet #0429 'unrestored low miles time-capsule original' for $125,000 ... that had a used car dealership plate on the back. All other bidders dropped out after the $47,500 mark on that one, leaving only two guys who apparently had more money than God to bid on it. Either one of them could have bought the rig for cash from the seller for $59,900 (an unrealistic price, I thought) before it was placed in auction. Hence, the asking price for this one at $119k. I highly doubt they'll get that price, or anything particularly close to it. It has a variety of restoration faults going on which significantly affects the 'dealership showroom new appearance' collector value. At least the stripe color sequence error was somewhat corrected (in non-original hues compared to what's seen
in GM brochures and
magazine ads) from the way it was seen in its donk wheels debut video -- notice in the last few seconds of the video, its roof really wanted to take off flying:
