250LM #5901

I’m curious about its white striping livery. Does it hold some historical significance or just the preference of a previous owner? The older photos suggest that the car was all one color originally. If that is the case, hopefully the new owner will return it back.

Born red. White stripe added when owned by M.F. (1998).

That's actually a 275 P, not 250 LM 5901, which never raced. The web sites that state that 250 LM 5901 was the number 32 car at Daytona 1966 are wrong. It was a 275 P. See here.

 

yup, but this thread and vid are specifically #5901, sooo.......... it's relevant.
