The original Dodge Charger Concept, introduced in 1965 was recently sold for $1.1 million, though estimated somewhere between $1.5 to 2.0 million. The car had several owners until 1999, when show car collector Joe Bortz acquired it and he managed to find and fit the car with one of the original 15 engines produced for the racing circuit, complete with a block casting dated October 1963.
Introduced in 1964, Dodge Charger Concept is a show car based on a Dodge Polara and it introduced the company’s new 426 cubic-inch Hemi V8. What’s very interesting is that because a limited number of hand-built 426 Hemi V8 engines were produced for some select racing teams, when one of them blew up their Hemi, they had to use the one used on the concept. So the ’64 Dodge Concept ended up with the same 305 horse, 383 cubic inch V8 that came with the regular Polara.
