Greetings. I am not a Newell owner but hope to become one. I am considering buying a 1988 Newell Classic that has been stored inside its entire life when not in use and is still owned by original owner with 120K miles. Very well kept coach for a 1988. Has the Silver Detroit 8V92 rated at 475 HP at 2100 rpm.
I am a very handy person, build many motors, suspensions, and enjoy fabicating as an engineer. We are replacing a 5th wheel toy hauler after a hail claim. And getting away from our toys (dirt bikes mainly). We have owned many RVs from toy haulers to various class Cs up to a 2002 Country Coach.
Is there anything special about the mid to late 1980s Classic models? Basically, why would you want to own one versus buying a 2002-2008 Monaco/Beaver/HR/Safari w 3 slides?
Any special or rare options that I should try to identify?
We own a custom furniture business and I have always loved the idea of doing a custom interior within a coach build on very, very, very good bones. However, I am not retired and do not have tons of freetime so I would need to overall the interior over time.
