Well, thanks, Ben, I appreciate that help. The linked photo is exactly the car in question. I bought two of the Champ sets (there are two cars to do) and I expect that will get me pretty close to accurately decaled cars.

I suspect there are better choices. I want to letter it as accurately as I can, though the owner is very much satisfied with a “three-foot rule” result. It’s >>ME<< being picky, not the owner."
You mean something like this?
Agree with you regarding Microscale 87-73 - along with the limited black lettering, the stencil breaks don't conform with the car in the photo.
Champ HN-123 might scratch your itch. It's in black, and features four sizes of the speed lettering. Here's an active listing:
