What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 58 yr, 50k mi example, ~$25.4K 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 (20.1 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).

━ This car $53.6K━ S&P 500 $787K━ Gold $698K━ Luxury $1061K━ Housing $183K

Lost ground to inflation. The Ford F-Series (1953-1956) roughly 0.5×'d your money (a real 67% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 93% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-71%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)

Economic Drivers

We map every market against ~35 economic indicators — equities, rates, luxury demand, credit, housing — to find what leads its prices. This market needs a bit more confirmed sold history before those signals are reliable; it will appear automatically as data accrues.
