is it a super? the serial number sounds like a super...but the problem is that Ernesto subbed out a lot of frames, and everyone has forgotten the secret codes. Typically the higher the letter, the later the year..but not always. J would be mid to later '80's. What is the parts mix, etc? can you post us a pic?
