Hot Wheels 2009 New Model - 1972 Custom V8 Vega (N4026)

From the 2009 Mainline, this was a new release for that year. It's the Custom V8 Vega (N4026). At that time Hot Wheels used the same item # for color variations - I have 3 versions of this casting with the same part number. As a new release, it looks fairly stock. I remember Vegas as a kid, especially the Cosworth version. My brother had a stock Vega, and it ran OK as I remember. But not a popular car at the time - reportedly, junk yards refused to take Vegas as they had too many of them already.
From the card back: "Specialty: With a custom front air dam, high-rise hood scoop and dual exhaust, there's nothing vague about this Vega, baby."
