Ebay has #565 for sale for $92,500 with a Kansas Salvage Title due to an interior fire. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-NEWELL-45-...SwPaJgcM8M

Ebay listing says 2001 but it is a year 2000. 

Wow, can't say I've ever seen one in such bad condition. At least there are lots of pictures. 12.5kw Onan?

Here's the big question. How do you insure the coach? My insurance company said they wouldn't touch such a vehicle because of the salvage title. Personally, I would not want to take on the liability. Forget about covering the cost of repairing it from a hypothetical accident.....how large is my liability for operating a salvage vehicle....I mean its a lawyer's field day of arguments as to why it should never see the road.

You may find that insurance companies will insure you for bodily injury and property damage, but won't write the policy for comprehensive. They don't want to be involved in rebuilding the coach in case of accident.

This leaves two big coverage holes. No replacement of your coach , and no medical on you and your passengers . Banks of  course would  not agree to no coach coverage on a financed coach.

This was obviously a party coach for "New World Racing". There's no legal passenger front seat. It was driven to the races and used. The logo is faintly still on the front. It shows of being abused rather hard. Sad to see them like this.

Looks like Jethro Bodine lived in it, along with Ellie Mae's pets. Maybe Granny was cooking up some possum stew when it caught fire.
It is a shame it's in this condition and would take lots of time and money to make it a nice coach.

It's in my back yard.

So you bought it, or it’s located near you?

The ebay ad says Rocklin, Kalifornia and Rundlc's signature says Sacramento........probably about 30-35 miles apart....
