An Inspiring Updated 1973 Newell Coach
Ken was asking me if I had a photo of the air suspension truck seat that I put in my 1973, so I had to go digging through boxes to find a picture that wasn't even close to what he wanted. I did also come across this picture to show what an updated 1973 Newell can look like.

It's always nice to see an older Newell that's been updated.

That's a very nice looking 1973 Newell Classic Luxury Coach! Jon, you seem to always be sporting a dynamite looking paint scheme. Looks like you're always staying ahead of the curve. Now if in 10 years from now you see some crazy Newellaholics running around with Classics sporting a couple of slides with bumped up 60 Series Detroit's, you'll know where it all got started.

My guess it may have had the Cat 3208? What a nice coach. Jon did it have the upgraded air suspension? I know that a guy (owned an aftermarket company),can't think of his name but he did the lighting, bumpers, eye brow or visor (don't quote me on this), and suspension on a bunch of 70's and 80's Newell Coach's.

33' It had a Cat 1160, the normally aspirated (no turbo) V8 predecessor to the 3208 coupled to an Allison 4 speed automatic. Regularly got 12mpg without toad and 10mpg with Ford Ranger extended cab 4X4 toad.
Leaf spring suspension with 2 airbags per axle, no leveling system.
Came with central vac.
Onan 6500 gas generator with it's own 100 gallon tank.
Twin beds that could be put together for a single king.

Sweet! Did you update the interior too? or is that original? You still own this coach Jon?

I bought it in the 90's, and sold it in 2002. Didn't really want to see it go, but we relocated to Seattle and decided to have a house built. I was a contract programmer and used it to live in when I had to go onsite. After the Y2K fiasco, there wasn't a lot of demand for contract programmers, everybody had been fleeced with the Y2K scare and had blown their budgets. I ended up taking a job at the Costco Corporate headquarters in the IT department in Issaquah Washington and had no need to travel for work.
I did do some upgrades, I changed out the drivers and passenger seats that were out of a 80s vintage GM car with some Bostrom pneumatic truck seats, and replaced the steering column with a junk yard Acura steering column that I was able to move many of the dash controls to the steering wheel.
