What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 60 yr, 38k mi example, ~$19.0K 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.

Solid store of value, but lagged the stock market. The Ford Econoline Pickup roughly 1.8×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.2× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 76% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-27%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
