What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 64 yr, 50k mi example, ~$19.3K 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.

If You’d Bought in 2007

$100K invested 2007-03 → today (19.3 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).

Lost ground to inflation. The Ford F-Series (1948-1952) roughly 0.7×'d your money (a real 59% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 90% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-63%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
