In that era the last 3 numbers of the VIN is the coach number, so that is coach 403. It should have a Detroit Diesel series 60 engine with the Allison 4060 6 speed transmission. It also appears to have the rear "Hastings Hump", a raised ceiling height in the rear. It's also 45' long.
A couple big ticket items are the 8 tires and 8 8D size batteries (2 starting and 6 house). Those items alone if and when needed can easily cost $10,000. Other than that the apparent condition is important, along with any documented maintenance. After that owning a Newell is similar to a yacht. There is always ongoing maintenance.
Michael Day should pop in soon and may have info on that coach.
