1965 Dodge Deora Concept - Click above for a high-res image
gallery  Have you ever wanted to own your very own life-sized
Hot Wheels car? Here's your chance! As part of RM's Icons of
Speed and Style auction at the Petersen Automotive Museum on
September 26, a 1965 Dodge Deora Concept will cross the block
and go home with the highest bidder. Built by legendary hot
rodders Mike and Larry Alexander, the one-off pickup truck won
the Ridler Award at the 1967 Detroit Autorama and was
immortalized a year later as one of the original 16 Hot Wheels
model cars.  The unique design, based on a Dodge A100, includes
no side doors but instead a forward-opening glass hatch that is
essentially the back of a 1960 Ford station wagon turned 180
degrees. RM estimates that the Deora, which was restored to its
original show specs just over ten years ago, should command
between $350,000 - $550,000 when it goes up for auction. Follow
the jump for more info on this unique showcar and how it came to
be.  Related Gallery1965 Dodge Deora
