In 1966, Ford had a Signal Flare Red # 71529, and for 1965 # 71423 Rangoon Red. While I cannot be sure what was painted on this car, If it was done by Ford or Shelby, it's a good bet it was one of these.

Brent,
Just a thought, maybe Ferrari red ??
Remember the storm clouds between the two, wonder
if Shelby had that kind of sense of humor ??
I looked at a Ferrari 330 P3 from the same time period,
look's similar.
Great build.
Best,
BC

I don't think Ford had a sense of humor...only business. Ford supplied the four MKIV's ready to run to Shelby and Holman & Moody a month before LeMans. It's a fair bet that Ford did the paint work.

Are there any of these cars left in this color scheme on public display? Last resort, obviously, but you could do a Pantone match if you could get near one. I like the Idea of Ferrari Red

Copied from www.ultimatecarpage.com:
One day after Ford's second Le Mans win, new regulations for 1968 were announced, which rendered the Mk IV obsolete. Ford brought the Mk IVs back to Holman & Moody and had all four rebuilt to resemble the winning chassis, which according to the ACO was J-6. The cars were painted red and received a 'Gurney-bubble' in the roof to be an exact replica of the winner. For a while these 'winners' were shown at various motorshows. At the end of the year, J-6 was handed to Foyt for his fine debut and winning Le Mans drive. Two additional honeycomb chassis were constructed and used with little success in Can-Am under the G7A moniker, bringing the total of 'J-cars' constructed to ten.
