Le Mans Trials, April 1966
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company intended to compete at Le Mans in 1967 with the all-new J-Car, seen here during an April 1966 trial in France. Those plans changed in August 1966 when Ken Miles died in a rollover accident while testing a J-Car at Riverside, California. Ford engineers and Shelby American specialists reworked the J-Car into the safer, sounder Mark IV.
