OK, I will take the "high road", and respond only to a couple of phrases that you have used; no time for a full discourse right now:

• Mass produced? OK, can you tell me how many of these were made?
• Mall trash? I'm not sure where you are located, but the nearest mall to Atlanta, Georgia where you might find this one is approximately 6,900 miles away (shortest aerial route) . . . that's right, in Tokyo.
• Sadly, Rindt passed away a mere five days before the Vega was introduced to the public, so it would be surprising to find that he had any chance to drive this wonderful little car . . . unless he might have had a role in the design and testing; still, I suspect that he might have had some fun in the Cosworth Vega, produced circa 1975.
