In the Ford GT40 book by David Hodges in pages 91 thru 94 has several pictures of the J Cars in Can Am or Group 7. They were called G7-A. He said in the book that

"the car was probably too heavy to compete successfully againt the purpose-built cars in the CanAm series, and after track tests Ford quietly gave up the idea of competing in this field"

The best finish was second in Japan on a Non championship race in 1969. The G7-A were raced in 1970 but retired in each event.
