1969 Newell Coach
#1

                    Hello everyone I own a 1969 25' Newell with 80,000 miles that is un-molested and looks like it came from the factory. I am the second owner. The interior is a Time Machine, CB radio, small TV, oven never even used or fridge. Carpets, seats, vinyl soft as the day they were put in it. 
The exterior we have had removed all the lights and powder coated the bumpers, polished her up and are updating the painted areas. The only thing original I don't have is the generator, which Newell said they actually have. We are going thru the engine to freshen it up. Just wondering if anyone else has on this old? One of the old timers at Newell told me it was the 17th one of 22 made in '69 according to the data plate info I gave him. It used to live not far from Newell HQ in OK. Its here in Memphis now at my business.
I've also been asked "do you know what you have" several times by people in the industry that have came over to see her. I just think she's cool! kinda looks like Willie Nelson would roll out of her in a ball of smoke lol.

As far as the engine etc. It is built on a 1969 Ford 750 Dump truck chassis , the engine is a 360 Industrial. Every aspect of it is Dump Truck with the exception of the air ride system and rear compressor.
