I have the 5 digits of his plate (out of six)... can't decide if its worth the trouble to call the Belmont PD or just write it off to a very angry person having a very bad day.
Yow! I did get out this morning on the red Masi, wearing a platinum white jersey. About 30 miles, Waltham, Belmont, up the Concord Rd hill, Lexington, Bedford, Concord, returning via Virginia Rd & Rt2A to Lexington, then back down the Concord Rd hill at a "high rate of speed". I recall seeing someone going out Concord Rd at the time and thinking "someone else going up that hill" I wave at most cyclist and sometimes they wave back. If I missed you I apologize. It's unlikely I would have noticed either your jersey color - they all look alike to me, splash of colors and words! - or bike color unless it was bright and vintage.

About the angry driver, tough call. Without all the digits they may not be able to do anything. Even then they might not. But maybe they know the guy, maybe he's had issues before, accidents, tickets, complaints or something.
