I toured the factory back in college (about 1983). If they still do tours, you ought to check it out...amazing vehicle.

Awsome, impressive and all the rest, BUT, probably one of the worst investments you could make in a lifetime. I'm talking about the Newell now.

Its not an investment......it probably depreciates 4-5 thousand $ a week. It will never resell for more than what it costs now.

Nice article. Never mentioned Mark Martin, who just got his newest Newell and shows it off on Facebook a lot. Most incredible paint job ever!

What is the reason for the REPOST MR. Carter? Are you related to a former president? The original post is 15 years old. One would think most Barth owners or want to be Barth owners own a Barth because they choose to own a Barth because Barth owners are FRUGAL. Lucky YOU!

HMMM, Would that question may be crossing the political boundaries set by the site moderators / owner?
