1984 Newell in Valdosta, GA - whatsnewell - 07-16-2014
A reader of my blog found this Newell on Cranky Ape up for auction located in Valdosta, GA....right now bidding is at $0. Auction ends 7/23. There are 65 pictures plus a video of the DD 8V92 running. Needs a lot of cosmetic stuff. The description lists all the blemishes. Looks like it has good bones.

Thanks Clarke. That is much more in-depth look than the listing on RVTrader. I am taking the liberty of editing the link in your post to remove the closing bracket so the link works.
I am particularly grateful that you posted it because it adds another VIN to my database.

Sounds like a lot of work, but if you can do it yourself could end up a really nice coach!

The photos show a lot of rust in the floor of the storage compartments. Could it have been flooded with salt water?

Mike.. I think it's called neglect ..... Any mechanical device requires a certain amount of time and $$ devoted to keep it in top operational condition, when that time and $$ is not devoted, it accumulates until such time someone devotes that time and $$. This coach can very well be returned to it's original glory. Because it's a Newell is a testament to the fact that it is still worthy of that. Lessor coaches would be a shambles and in it's respective finial resting place.. (My Thoughts)

I just finished a 45 minute phone conversation with Dan (reads my blog) who is driving down to Valdosta on Sunday to see the coach. He has hired a local 2 stroke diesel mechanic to inspect the engine, tranny and radiator, as well as genset, and run labs on the fluids before bidding ends on the 23rd. He is a very motivated buyer. Bidding is at $2500 right now with 4 days to go.
