(Yeah, I know that's a Daytona, but they're similar, and the wheels were the same) I like the wheels on that Shelby Charger… and another thing that makes it cool, is that the Matchbox version imitates it very well!

They are also a (as close to it as you can get) perfect match for the wheels that came on the Matchbox car! I've tried to link to a photo, but whenever I do this, my comment disappears.

Cars from that era all have a huge red blob on the speedometer at 55. Car magazines continued to use 0 – 60 but advertising couldn't because of the 55mph national speed limit.

(But with the turbo 2.2 - I think it was an '85. Same colours.)
