Dodge Charger Concept has antiques valuation of up to $1m

The sports car has an antiques valuation of between $750,000 and $1 million.

A Dodge Charger Concept has been given an antiques valuation of up to $1 million (£641,293) before it goes under the hammer.

The classic car - created in 1964 - is set to go up for sale at the Arizona RM Auction on January 21st.

Motor enthusiasts might be interested to note it contains a three-speed automatic transmission and has four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

What's more, the auctioneers pointed out it was the first Dodge to be fitted with the Charger nameplate and it intended to introduce the new-for-1964 Hemi V-8.

Since the vehicle's creation it has since been restored with one of the original 15 Chrysler race Hemi engines.

RM Auctions added: "This historic and authentic, muscle-bound showpiece trumps many of the "show but no go" cars of the 1950s, which had wonderful style but were often fitted with less-than-impressive powerplants."

This comes after a Bentley three-litre Speed Model Tourer went under the hammer for £150,000 last year, the BBC reported.
