Cox .049 Vega Funny Car
This classic Cox Vega Kammback Wagon gas powered funny car was purchased by us about 10 years ago. These cars were produced by Cox in the mid 1970′s and are very rare. This car is displayed in the same condition we purchased it in and we have plans to restore it to its full beauty in the coming months. This is a first run car, as the later cars had the model year on the blue decal (ex: Vega 73)

hey i have an air plane that has an engine vary similar how do u start it and what kind of fuel do u run ot on
we have never run this car, even though the engine still has “pop” to it. If we did, we would use a hobby fuel with a hight nitro content( like 30%) and one with a high castor oil content, say around 20%. We would also use a bump starter to start it.
Hi,
I have the Vega in mint condition with the red gas tank. I have had it since I was a kid and started it once.
What do you think the value might be?
Hi Tony…
from what we have seen on EBAY cars that have the boxes are worth more than standalone cars. But based on what we have seen lately, yours could be worth anywhere from 75 to 150 dollars….do you have any of the accessories left\?
I have the pinto. vega. and dragster in their unopened packages. Wanted one of these so bad when I was younger.Searched for a long time for ones still in the clear wrapped box. I got the purple dune buggy for christmas one year. Threw a rod like two days later. Have a nice used one now. Love the smell of that fuel. What a pain to get them started back then!
Hi Michael,
That is a great story. If you want, send us some pics and we will post them on this page and give you credit as the owner.
fast
thanks..
I have the vega funnycar in mint condition, I’ve listed for this or the pinto since I was little. Is there any video of one of these gems running? I can’t find one. There seems to be video on about everything else.
Hi Bill..
The closest thing we found was on youtube…not a Vega, but an 049 powered Matador from the same era…Let us know what you think..
