I had that same problem when I requested: 69 HEMI B The DMV told me that the 69 had sexual connotations (duh) and that I coudn't have the plate without written explanation. I wrote them a NICE letter explaning: 69 (year of car), HEMI (engine in car) B (short for SuperBee). I got the plate without any other problems. It DOES pay to be nice to them, sometimes
