CPI Value Guide

Ever wonder how much it would take to get that fancy Ferrari you saw driving down the highway? Or are you thinking about buying an old Boss Mustang, like the one your friend had in high school? Maybe you just want to have a sporty little convertible like an MG or an Austin-Healey to buzz around town in.

Or are you considering selling one of your classics? Are you sure you know the current value of it? Do you know prices can change dramatically-as much as 30% in one year?

Since it was first published in 1977, the CPI Value Guide has been the professionals’ source for the current market values of imported and domestic collectible, exotic and high-line cars produced since 1946. Car dealers, bankers, insurance companies, and appraisers-not to mention serious collectors-rely on the CPI Value Guide to provide current market information on the most desirable cars.
