J4 was the last prototype to be built to the original specifications. It was sent after completion (Jan. '67) to Daytona for some testing. Sent back to KarKraft it was rebuilt to MkIV specidications, painted in yellow with black stripes and tested at Kingman Arizona with good results. It was decided to send it to the 12 hours of Sebring. It proved to be a good idea as it won the race. Then it went for more testing at Daytona in preparation of Le Mans. J4 was not used again and was put in storage. In 1970 it was sold to a private collector, changed hands several times and can be seen from time to time in historic events.
