Cool piece. You should contact the folks at Coker Tire and see if they'd consider making reproductions of those, Being a correct tire for 69 SS Camaro and Chevelle I know there would be a market for them. It looks like you have a perfect NOS tire they could use as a guide for what to shoot for. Just a thought...

I'm making progress!! The same guy I got the NOS one from found another near new one that was mounted as a roller tire on a 69 Chevelle in the back of his shop...












Now if 68l30 would sell me his two, I'd be just about done! Whaddya think?
