What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 58 yr, 50k mi example, ~$22.4K 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 2006

$100K invested 2006-08 → today (19.9 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 (1953-1956) roughly 0.5×'d your money (a real 71% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 94% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-74%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
