How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the Condition #3 (Good) baseline value from a price guide like Old Cars Report or Hagerty.
  2. Select condition class (1 = Concours through 6 = Parts car).
  3. Review the adjusted value for your selected condition class.
  4. Use this as a reference for buying, selling, or insuring — final values depend on marque and regional demand.

How the result changes with Condition #3 baseline value ($)

What each input means

Condition #3 baseline value ($)
The published 'Good' (condition 3) value for your make/model/year. Check Hagerty, Sports Car Market, or Bring a Trailer for comps.
Condition class (1-6)
Hagerty condition scale: 1 = museum quality, 3 = clean driver, 6 = parts car.
Matching numbers drivetrain
Original engine, transmission, and rear end matching factory records adds ~25% premium on most collector cars.
Provenance premium (%)
Documented race history, celebrity ownership, factory prototype status, or other notable provenance. 0% for ordinary cars, 10-30% for documented special history.
Market trend adjustment (%)
Current market heat for this marque/model. Positive = rising market, negative = softening. Check recent auction results vs 12 months prior.

What each result means

Estimated market value
Projected value based on condition, matching numbers, provenance, and market trend.
Condition multiplier
How your condition class scales relative to condition #3 baseline.
Matching numbers premium
Dollar value added by having the original drivetrain.
Provenance premium
Dollar value added by documented special history.
Agreed insurance value
Recommended agreed-value coverage amount (115% of market value for replacement cost buffer).
Restoration upside to Cond. 2
Potential value gain if the car were restored to Excellent (condition 2) status, before restoration costs.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Condition #3 baseline value ($) = 25000, Condition class (1-6) = 3, Matching numbers drivetrain = 1, Provenance premium (%) = 0 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Estimated market value
    Estimated market value = afterProvenance * (1 + marketTrendPct / 100)
    31250 = $31,250
  3. Calculate Condition multiplier
    1 = 1
  4. Calculate Matching numbers premium
    Matching numbers premium = baseValue * conditionMultiplier
    6250 = $6,250
