Product Details Temp out of stock
Malcolm Durham introduced this Vega at the Capital Raceway, in Washington DC, in 1973. This new small block Vega, Strip blazer IX, ran a 9.61 right out of the box. Malcolm Durham was one of the most popular, if not, the most popular African American drag racers in the 1960's and 1970's and this Vega was one of his best engineered cars and one of the best looking Strip Blazers. The car was built at Supercar Engineering in Hyattsville, MD. It was powered by a Durham prepped '70 engine, displacing 354 cubic inches. It raced all over the eastern seaboard and in as many match races as Malcolm could schedule.

American muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s represent the high-water mark of factory-built performance in automotive history. Insurance surcharges, emissions regulations, and the 1973 oil crisis combined to end the original muscle car era almost overnight. Today these vehicles are among the most actively collected American automobiles, with exceptional examples regularly achieving six-figure prices at major auctions.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1972 Chevrolet is produced by MIC to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
