Roger Penske's Personal, Original, Historic and Rare 40' Newell Motorcoach...... Designed by Larry Shinoda (also Corvette Singray and Boss Ford Mustang.......
"The Captain", Roger Penske's Original, Personal Motor Coach from 1986 through 1992...... The Newell was simply the finest motor coach of it's time.... During the era Mr. Penske owned this very motor coach no telling how many Indy 500 and Indy Series Champions graced Mr. Penske's private quarters in the aft meeting room. Among those were Indy 500 winners Al Unser Sr., Rick Mears and Emerson Fittipaldi.
During the build of this Newell, Mr. Penske also commissioned famed automotive designer Larry Shinoda to pen the one of a kind exterior of the coach and team transporter. Shinoda is most known for designing the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Ford Boss Mustang, among many other. His designs on this coach include the rear wheel spats, the front wheel alloy covers, the roof cap, stainless steel side panels, front and rear bumpers, head light design, the exterior paint design and luminescent graphics surrounding the coach, from which Mr. Penske utilizes on his current Newell Motor Coach today. Copies of Shinoda penned designs for this coach are included with the sale.
This Newell is no standard coach from Newell. It incorporates a 102" width, 40' length, 275" wheel base. It has a massive air bag ride and leveling system, which Mr. Penske had drawn up for this coach. Those blue prints are also included with the sale.
Some of the many options Mr. Penske requested are: Recaro leather seating, three main a/c units, four heating units, cornering lights, extra engine heater, 5 KW inverter, 50 amp vanner charger, Sony closed circuit tvs, mobile telephones and intercom systems, burglar alarm system, yard lights, central vacumn, ice maker, instant hot water, corian counter tops throughout, Sony Watchcam and much, much more.

This Newell motor coach runs wonderfully (very powerful!), 208,621 original miles. It shifts and brakes properly (brakes on rear replaced recently) (new ring and pinion). The tires are in fine shape, some of which are nearly new. The three main ac units as well as the heating units work properly. The water heater heats as it should. The water system works properly, Refridgerator/freezer work fine, as do the microwave, TVs and radios. Each of the three main leather couches pull out to make double beds. It is possible to sleep eight, however, five would be more comfortable. The 12KW generator is well insulated, therefore it is quite and works well. There is a rear mounted camera for backing up. The radiator is new and cools the engine great.
Even though the coach has been well maintained there are a few items that need attention: There are water leaks around a couple of windows. There is some rust on the battery trays a front compartment where the outside refridgerator is located. There is a soft spot in the powder room floor. The dashboard ac unit is not working. There are some scratches and paint chips in the body. There are two small areas of the lower aluminum body work that have bubbled and need minor repair.
