What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 52 yr, 50k mi example, ~$15.3K 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.

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee. Data-backed market intelligence, not a guaranteed prediction. Figures are modeled estimates from asking prices, sold comps, and public economic indicators; they can be wrong. Not financial advice.

If You’d Bought in 2006

$100K invested 2006-03 → today (20.3 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 (1961-1966) roughly 0.1×'d your money (a real 92% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 98% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-92%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
