Not mine but the first one I have seen completed. I believe at least one of our forum members was working on one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273375955045

That detail was probably on the car they photographed and measured to create the miniature (largest made)

White wall "Goodyear Thunderbolts' tires were put on the '67 #0544 Super Snake for the famous tire testing in Texas.
It would be cool if they offered an option to get either the factory correct MagStars or the testing 10-spokes with Thunderbolts!

IMO the white wall station wagon tires used for tire testing on #0544 where the most stupid looking tires ever put on any year Shelby prior to selling to the public. I would like to forget about them not glorify them.

No doubt a SAI PR stunt, added to the AirCon testing of #00463 in Texas.
Those whitewalls do look way out of place on a Shelby!!!

This large die-cast miniature needs an equally large dedicated spot for those brave enough to tackle the challenge.
I'd be tempted to correct a few items, but I have the skills to complete them, so not visible.
That course is not recommended for the inexperienced.

Yes, the mirror and also the New Jersey inspection sticker suggest the basis for the model is #213.
