Appears most of the J1 stuff is there so you're ahead of the game. The missing Jetstar script is common to 1965 Jetstar 88s too so shouldn't be hard to find it. 6552 1965 J1 made.

This a tach or vacuum gage car?

To let you know what you have, it's a Starfire with 200lb less weight. Should have 3.42 gearing. Original engine is 370hp 425 with A heads, true dual exhaust and 4GC carburetor. Original transmission is Turbo 400 with a switch pitch torque converter but you could get these things with 4-speeds. Yes they would get up and boogie.

Your pictures are consistent with a car having a lot of rot along the bottom sides of the body and around its windows. Someone would need to see this vehicle in person or have some detailed pictures to accurately assess its value. If its body is too far gone, it may be a parts car for valuation purposes.

$25k ain't gonna happen. Fully sorted Starfires don't bring that money.

But the OP has been trying to sell it, listing it for offers in the classifieds and misc other threads in which those posts were deleted. I left the one up in the General Discussion forum as it was a question of worth. Does the OP own this car, because one of the threads that I deleted was worded as "came across this car"?

Didn't say I had a J1. Just a convertible.

Oh, and "convertable" or not, "they" don't make J1s at all anymore.

Given the complete lack of knowledge, I'd say it fell into their lap and they want to unload it. Probably sitting in a barn or storage locker, inherited, bought cheap at an estate sale, etc...
Which is a shame, because shjt like that never happens to me.

It strikes me as a "shady" individual whose motive and honesty is questionable.
