hi harry,
michael day is the master of coach numbers and what features are in what years. i know he will chime in.
the coach number is in later years the number of coaches made, but in the 2002 vintage, they didnt start numbering them until 1990 if i recall.
the 450 likely referrs to the length. 45'0". the vin number will have the length in it in the 1990 and later coaches. for instance mine is a 45'8" and it has 458 in the vin. mine is a 2002 as well and i suspect the one you are looking at is a 45'8" too.
the 2002's amost entirely had a 500 hp detroit series 60 in it.
it is a small world and many of the folks on the forum have had multiple newells, or have looked at a lot of them or both. so it is very often someone knows a bit about a particular coach that is for sale.
that 2002 you are referring to will have a coach number in the low to mid 600's. mine is coach 608 and was one of the first 2002's.
