Ford J9

FORD J  G7A  Chassis J9

After the 1967 Le mans race the change without warning of the new regulations for 1968 made the MkIVs obsolete. Four new chassis were already built. Ford decided to used two of them (J9 and J10) to be developed for the Can Am series.
J9 was sent to Kar Kraft and a car with an open cockpit and a complicated adjustable dual rear wing was assembled . The car was never raced but was tested all along the 1968 season. It was slow and unreliable and the project was put to an end.
The complete J9 car and the J10 chassis plus a some parts were sold to the former Shelby mechanic Charlie Agapiou for 1$.
J9 remain unraced and was kept as a spare car for the following Can Am seasons. The car has been years later restored as a MkIV coupe.
