A stunner for sure! Hard to imagine these base cars came standard with 3 speed manual on the column, no radio, blackwall tires and basic hubcaps. The 'bird presented here appears to have every box checked.
I'm no expert but you keep saying it's a J code which would indicate a 430 cubic inch MEL Mercury Edsel Lincoln engine but it looks to my eye like the standard 352 Ford FE engine...
