Given the thin data state, this outlook for the Porsche 356 Carrera Speedster carries low confidence. The market currently shows an undervaluation score of 65.11 and a depreciation risk of 64.93, alongside appreciation momentum at 32.91. Forecasts suggest a volatile upward direction with probabilities ranging from 0.52 to 0.56 over 6 to 24 months, with Initial Jobless Claims serving as a strong leading indicator with a -0.58 correlation over 2 months.
What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 65 yr, 24k mi example, ~$142K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.
Each faint amber line is a forecast we would have made at that point in the past (12-mo horizon), drawn against what actually happened (blue). Over 51 scored forecasts: 65% got the direction right, median value error ±57%.

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal
Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling lower over the next ~12 months (low conviction — 24% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Silver, though U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment points the other way.
⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.
Are the indicators agreeing?
Each bar is one driver's current push; longer = more weight. All one side = high conviction; split = low.

(Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
