Dodge Charger Concept valued at $1m before auction

A 1964 Dodge Hemi Charger Concept motor is set to go up for auction with a pre-sale estimate of $1 million (£641,293), classic performance car insurance seekers may be interested to hear.

The vehicle - which is set to be sold on January 21st at RM Auctions in Arizona - has been restored with one of the original 15 Chrysler race Hemi engines.

What's more, the auctioneer stated it was the first Dodge to have the Charger nameplate and it was originally created as a show car for the manufacturer in order to introduce the new-for-1964 Hemi V-8.

And RM Auctions pointed out this vehicle is not dream car, adding: "It is one that led the way for the muscle-car generation, setting the standard for what would become the most sought-after and spectacular cars of that glorious generation - the Hemi-powered cars from Dodge!"

Last year, a Bentley constructed in 1924 fetched £150,000 at auction, the BBC reported.
