Values from real sales
Classic car valuesDocument Q

How much is my classic car worth?

The honest answer is a range, not a number: two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole band around the median. Here is what 28,076 completed auction sales across 28 models say, with the sample size and the date behind every figure.

§ Q.01The short answer

A classic car is worth what the last comparable one sold for, adjusted for the things this particular car has and that one did not. Anything else is a guess wearing a number. Across the 28 models on this site the median sale price runs from $23,000 for a Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series 1989-1997 to $2,440,444 for a Ferrari F40 1987-1992 — a factor of 106 between the cheapest market here and the dearest, which is why "what is my classic car worth" has no single answer without the model.

Every figure below is a median of completed auction sales in US dollars, after removing unsold cars, non-vehicle lots, replicas, duplicates and implausible prices. Data as of .

§ Q.03Why the range is wide

The typical range — the middle half of sales — is wide on every one of these models. That is not noise in the data; it is the market. On this set the middle half of sales spans a band equal to about three quarters of the median price, and on some models it is wider than the median itself. A car with the right numbers-matching engine, original paint and a documented history sits at the top of that band. The same model with a replacement engine, a repaint and no paperwork sits at the bottom.

So the useful question is not "what is it worth" but "where in the band is this car, and what would move it up". That is what a report is for, and it is why a single number presented without a band is not a valuation.
