On the other hand it had a nice paint job
The catalog called it a "continuation car." I call it a replica.
Why would anyone pay over $600K for a replica?

I've looked the car in the Web page at
1967 Ford GT40 Mk IV Continuation by Kar Kraft | Arizona 2015 | RM AUCTIONS and it's a Mk IV, not a J-Car. It is my understanding the J-Cars have the 'bread van' style rear end that was abandoned after Ken Miles was killed driving one at Riverside in August 1966, though I have seen a number of Web sites where Mk IV cars have been referred to as j-cars, perhaps because of chassis numbering (e.g. J-6, J-9, J-10). If this is not the car you're referring to, please provide a link.
