Found Some Newell/NASCAR History Hidden in My '96 Newell Coach! (Formerly Owned by Robby Gordon)

I was doing some cleaning out in my Newell and stumbled across a drawer in the closet I had never gone through before. This isn't super groundbreaking or anything but I thought it was cool and you guys might think so too. Plus a little piece of NASCAR Winston Cup history left behind during this Newells past life with Robby Gordon!

You should get ahold of Matt Caricker from Demolition Ranch about his merch company Bunker Branding. He could do all of your shirts and stuff. He makes them, stocks them and ships them. You don't gotta worry about anything. He made the business specifically to help KZbinrs.

Good morning Mitchell! Thank you for the videos! Some quick info. I was originally turned on to you through Andrew Steele's channel. I can say I have rarely missed a video since. While my interest is primarily in the Newell, truth be told, I have fallen in love with the Escalde also!! I have posted before, and I think it's important for you to know that we care about the time and energy spent to get these videos out. Don't ever be afraid of being "you"! While this video might not be everyone's favorite,, I for one enjoyed it immensely!!! Multiple thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍🤟 Thank's again, and have a wonderful Christmas!!! 🎅

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks dude. I do it for the few not the many. That’s my mantra and I tell others the same 🤟🏻

[@paulbordelon4489]

Dude this is insane YOU FOUND IT, my dad and brother sent this to me this is my dads old coach he bought from Robby Gordon!!! Which you know but dude I’ve got picture of this thing my dad used to haul our h1 hummer behind it I’ve got some cool pictures if you ever want some more history on your coach man!!!! This is wild we sold it about 10-15yrs ago!!!! Awesome dude

[@paulbordelon4489]

We traveled the United States in this thing man we traveled with a buddy and his provost for probably 8yrs! We took a 2 month trip every year in it wow what a trip down memory lane!

Great little tidbit of info Mitchell. I remember when you did the walk through and also the pulling up the floor access wondering if you ever looked in those drawers. Lol How cool to have a connection to the RG days. That piece of triple carbon paper is just a day in the life, simple, but so cool. Now it's just a day in your life. Thanks for sharing. Most people forget that celebrities are still just people, doing people things like everyone else, except sometimes way cooler than anyone else. Lol

That was cool, i like older things like that, thank you for getting back to me a few days ago, I'm sorry i was drugged up from surgery

Used to get brochures from the local Ford dealer in the late 80's early 90's here in the UK. Wish i still had some of them, the RS options catalogues were fun to look through

I’ve been thinking of getting a new hoodie to wear daily and I would 100% love to give you my business

[@terry3193]

Great video and brought back a lot of memories. I love finding original documents, manuals, records, etc. Absolutely the best. You mentioned collecting car brochures when you were young. Some of my absolute best and fondest memories when I was young, are of me and my dad going to American car dealers every fall when the new models came out. We were both car and truck fanatics. I collected all of the brochures and kept them in a huge trunk. We'd also go and look at RVs and I'd collect those brochures as well. We're talking early 70's to 80's. I would pour over those brochures over and over. You would have thought it was porn but to me it was better than that. Thanks for sharing!

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man I’m glad you’re watching this older stuff!

[@2fast4you423]

I used to go to a lot of nascar races back in the day and we would get pit passes if there was an arca race u could go into the trailer and put down any race team and get pit passes for Friday and Saturday and then thanks to a lot of people volunteering at the tracks if u just walked in a group of people you could slide into the pits on Sunday cause they weren’t checking much at all ,but that form u had would have been for Busch or cup passes and those had to be filled out for you and u had to show id to get your pass ,for people that did that stuff that was cool what u found,brought back some cool memories for me for sure

[@calebdean]

@@Izreal3345 It’s really bad I’m 19 and they began to teach me in 2nd grade and stopped in 3rd as it was “obsolete” i wondered who structured that into our curriculum (common core) I still get cursive letters from relatives and have trouble deciphering certain letters/ words, stupid ones will get me like how an S looks like a D kinda, but i got my signature down pat 😂😂 Lord help us all 😭🙏🏻

[@camaronut666]

I love it I'm an rv nerd so seeing this stuff is so cool. Fun fact 2001 Winston Cup champion was Jeff Gordon #24 car.

[@340Demon]

Looking forward to the video of you meeting up with Robby to hear some stories about this unit!

[@mountainsgarage]

Yes plus 50HP in cruise. With the Maxi Brake set you should be able to touch cruise for high idle unless they provide a separate switch. And with the Jake on it will even rip coming off high idle! When you fix the Jake you will seldom need the brake pedal. Think about the NASCAR Events that happened in 2001, was your bus in the infield at Daytona? Probably!

[@fishpony1211]

That there’s a nice 28# classic crest. Used to be a printer back in the 90s. Probably has a watermark if you hold it up to the light.

You can Suck it! Awesome video man, I love finding old stuff hidden in random places & enjoyed this for sure. a couple years ago I was doing a big project job on a shopping complex & found hundreds of old Black & white prints of sprint cars (dirt circle track) from the 1980's & earlier, I still have them & treasure them so much. they were found in a roof space 10 meters above floor level, I would love to know the history of how they got there & why was it me who found them nearly 40 years later... I have many more stories like this but I never think to share them ha ha! Thanks for sharing this I love it.

That’s wild lol. Stuff like that is so fascinating

[@christopher5723]

IDK why but even though I have no interest in every actually acquiring a coach, but these newel videos are some of my favorites on the channel. Also, heard a rumor Cleetus got a new toterhome, should get Coop to set up a race against it.

Still curious about a ballpark of what you paid. (If you don't want to say exactly) some of us are considered buying one. So are you in the 10-30k or the 100-130k range.

Neither

[@mikelellsaesser1320]

Finding old things like is always cool. One day u get a little time, u might have to pull out the drawers all the way and see what fell behind the drawers. Just on the hoodie thing would u ever think about a zip up hoodies, with a small decals on the front and a big decals on the back. Just wandering. And do the tee shirts the same way. Cause everyone see the back of the tee-shirt first when people are walking around a car show and car events. A lot people put decals on the front and then nothing on the back and losing their marketing tool.
