Lot 2398-SCT: 1956 Ford Customline

Based on our market data, a 1956 Ford Customline is currently worth between $880 and $66,000, with an average sale price of $23,300 across 34 transactions in this market.

The specific vehicle you’re looking at is listed for $42,000, which puts it above the market average but well below the top sale. Here’s how it compares:

• Market Average: $23,300
• Recent Comparable Sales: $20,500 - $34,000 (modified coupes like yours)
• Your Vehicle (Asking): $42,000

The $42k price point appears to be a premium ask supported by several desirable upgrades this car has over a standard Customline:

• 272ci V8 with 4-speed manual (not the auto most had)
• Front disc brakes (major safety/performance upgrade)
• MSD ignition and custom 3-inch exhaust
• Power brakes and modern radial tires

Recent sales of modified 2nd-gen Customlines with similar improvements have ranged from $20k-$34k. The $42k ask may leave some negotiation room, but it’s not unreasonable given the quality of modifications and current market conditions.
