Hi Jim, I have been in the same shoes you are. I am on my third Newell and would own nothing else but a Newell. Once you own a Newell old or new you will have a hard time finding value in any other make. I'm am not trying to be biased but its just true I feel. For your target price, you will certainly be looking for a fixer Newell. Most people know what their coach is worth and early classics are normally bringing between $35,000 up to $60,000. Now I'm referring to mid to late 70's models. And If they need repair you can deduct and adjust from those figures. Every Newell is unique in build and design. Engine can vary from the Cummins V-555, Cat 3208, and Detroit 6V92's. The 6V92TA is rare due to the height of the engine do to the turbo. Everyone I have seen has the Allison automatic either 4 or 5 speed.

Hope this sheds a little light on the subject. 8) :wink:
