Welcome John. Let me start by welcoming you to NewellGurus, then tell you how much I appreciate the detailed information you have provided. I maintain a database with information on Newells and trying to get VIN/Serial Numbers on pre-1990 Newells can be a chore and even worse if they are pre-1980 where not even the online VIN databases have them listed. Based on the serial number Newell considered it a 30' at the time. Most of the 1974 and 1975 Newells I have seen advertised were listed as 30' or 35'. Yours was the 6th Newell build during the 1975 model year, the last 6 was the sequence number and the J represented the year on all 1975 models.
1975 was the last year for any gasoline powered Newells according to my records although most had a Cummins 555 a, Cat 1160 or a Cat 3208.
Sounds like you have a great project to work on, although it looks very good in the photos, especially for a coach that is 42 years old.
