They mentioned a 1966 J car. Not sure what that meant.

This is one of the prototypes (presumably J1) that led to the Ford Mk IV, built to comply with Appendix J in the FIA's regulations.

"J Car" evidently was the official name; we should call this a 1966 Ford J Car, class Proto/Concept.

One of them is already listed. It stayed unknown for a while, then someone entered it as a MkIV.

I have a series of magazines with a study of all GT40 & derivatives chassis numbers, but it's not accessible at the moment.

I knew I saw that somewhere! Yes, that one is an early Mk IV whereas the one here is from much earlier in development. The aerodynamics were changed after Ken Miles crashed at Riverside.

Some GT40 etc chassis lists: http://gt40.net , http://www.angelfire.com/me/krejcirom/ChassisFord.html , https://autooftheday.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/gt40s-chassis-by-chassis/

The last one may be the most helpful, but is also the most unreadable.

BP banners suggests this is UK picture, or maybe France or other Europe, but not US.

Then definitely J1, which was revealed to the public at Le Mans.

BP Longlife and barely visible at the top LUCAS hoarding, confirms its Le Mans.

So as said, J-car testing with its squarer more box-like lines before the wind-tunnel testing that produced the Mk.IV.
