1964 Dodge Hemi Charger Concept Roadster

In 2007, the car became part of the John M. O'Quinn collection and has been operated sparingly. Now, in 2011 the car became available for purchase again.

As it appeared for the auction the car is finished in a striking dark-red finish with double-white pinstripes running the length of the car. At the 2011 RM Auction sale in Arizona, it was expected to fetch between $750,000 to $1,000,000. But no matter what the price, it was truly remarkable to be able to have in existence, not only the concept car that was debuted before the public almost 50 years ago, but that it did so in complete form.

Perhaps this time, more so than it had before, the 1964 Dodge Hemi Charger Concept Car fulfills its role as the concept car Chrysler always intended the public to witness. It is as if this were Chrysler's latest retro muscle car. For only now, had the public witnessed the complete vision, the full glimpse, of the company's incredible muscle car.
