I would assume the plate arrived on the car after it was wrecked in the "s" turns at LeMans 24 hour in 1967. The history books state it was shipped to Holman Moody and stored until purchased by a privateer after that crash. I don't have the books here at work, I think it may have arrived at H-M after the 66 race. It was prepared for the 67 race and shipped to Ford of France to enter it in the race, where they painted it white with the Torino side stripe and thick-two-thins strips over the top in blue and red with #6 roundels. Once in HM's position they "may" have tagged it with there plate for state legal reasons. (IMO) and memory. The car currently lives at The Larry Miller Motors Sports Museum in Salt Lake City.
