AFX Collector Series – Ford GT40 Mk IV J-9
The origins of the Ford GT40 MKIV is marred by tragedy. It began in 1966 with the J-Car just
after LeMans. Ken Miles was test driving the car when it crashed on an embankment, bursting
into flames. The rest is heavy-hearted history. There were only 10 made, only half of which ever
actually raced. However, the MKIV is known for breaking records both at home and abroad. It
only ran in two races: the Sebring 12 Hours and the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the most
prestigious race events in all of motorsport. It won both.
These victories were no accident. Ford made sure of that. The car was specifically,
painstakingly designed for endurance, designed for speed…designed to win. Each element of
the MKIV was totally different from other GT40s, starting with where it was made. Unlike its predecessors the MKI and ll cars which were built entirely or partly in Europe, the MKIV
was built from scratch in the United States. A little “skunk works” company called Kar Kraft built the all-new J series chassis and newly designed long, streamlined bodywork for Ford’s Special
Vehicles Activity. The MKIV was easily the most radical variant of all the GT40s.
Other modifications were made as well. A NASCAR-style, steel-tube roll cage was added as a
direct result of beloved racer Ken Miles’ tragic death while testing the first J Car. Though it was
significantly safer, the roll cage was incredibly heavy which hurt the car’s performance.
The 1967 Ford GT40 Mk IV #9 was on the J-9 chassis which was specifically crafted as a Group 7 Can-Am racer. It featured a powerful 3-valve, all-alloy 427 Ford V8 engine—an engineering marvel designed for blistering performance. Built to dominate, its brutal, raw power is palpable. In fact, after testing the car, legendary driver Mario Andretti said the J-9 one of the “scariest cars” he had ever driven.
Specifications
Chassis: Mega G+ SHORT Wheelbase Chassis (1.5″)
Mega G+ Chassis
This chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. It wasn’t just built with the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. The Mega G+ Chassis is smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

The first MKlV to race was painted yellow with black stripes and built on the J6 chassis. Race prepared by Shelby American, it was also the first of the MKIVs to be tested at full speed at Daytona before moving on to Sebring. There, drivers Mario Andretti and Bruce McLaren not only won the race, they built the largest lead in Sebring history while breaking speed and distance records that would remain unbroken for years.
The iconic 1967 Le Mans race saw the #2 driven by McLaren and Donohue. Half of the two part Shelby American team, they raced alongside Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt in the red #1 MKIV. The McLaren / Donohue car clinched the pole position in the Le Mans qualifying but their race took a harrowing turn when the entire rear bodywork flew off the car at over 200mph on the Mulsanne Straight.
Andretti – driving the copper-colored #3 MKIV, lost control when his poorly installed brake pads failed at 3:30AM. Thankfully he walked away unscathed, however the crash left a trail of terror in its wake. McLaren’s #2 MKIV caught some of the debris from the crash that blew off the rear engine bonnet costing the team a detrimental 45 minutes retrieving and refitting the panel. Despite the chaos of the crash along with various clutch issues, McLaren and Donohue fought back and finished strong in fourth place.
This epic Le Mans race on Sunday June 11, 1967 is still considered to be the race of the century and remains the only all-American victory in Le Mans history.

The Swiss company, Sauber Motorsport, shot off the starting line when it was founded in 1970. After its debut in F1 in 1993, Sauber carved out a name for itself. Not only were they one of the few traditional, privately held teams in the sport, they set standards in the design, development and construction of race cars to this day. Sauber Motorsport operates and manages the Alfa Romeo F1 Team, conducting full and model-scale testing in the factory’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel providing ground-breaking innovation in the field of aerodynamics. The company’s evolutionary skill and artistry helped earn its induction into the exclusive club of teams to have competed in more than 500 F1 races. In 2022, Sauber Motorsport celebrated 30 years in the sport and continues to dominate both on and off the track. AFX fans the world over have spent years pining for the latest generation of F1 cars and AFX’s Alfa Romeo F1 Team Collection is well worth the wait. These cars blow AFX’s already top-of-the-line detail and design rendering out of the water. Their multifaceted logos and deeply sculpted bodies pushed the boundaries of car construction to heights never before seen - much less attempted, at such a small scale. This livery is unique in that it was created solely for the Belgian Grand Prix’s Spa circuit. The Team’s Lead Driver, Valtteri Bottas drove donning his race #77. Born and raised in Finland, Bottas has become a powerhouse driver with a fast-tracked career of 10 race wins and a staggering 67 podiums. The traditional team colors of red and black are sprinkled with the KICK team’s signature neon green logos, contrasting beautifully at full speed with green wheels.
