Hey, was wondering the same thing, so I did a little digging. BTW there's a similar post here

Seeing as there's nothing on any fender site about the Vintage Pro had to get specs from MW.

Looks pretty much identical from the spec list. Perhaps the other thread about this is right and it's just re-introducing it at a lower price and maybe even distancing from the aging process of the other time machine models, seeing as NOS isn't aged at all...
Oh almost forgot, you can get it in different colours! That's the only difference I can see. I'd have to pick one up and play it though, major lust for the Custom 64 for years now. Played one through a Mesa 400+ into a fridge baby it was like what I'd heard inside my head as what a bass should sound like but real. Wish I wasn't broke at the time as the 400+ is discontinued and the 64 just keeps going up in price.
