ESTIMATED VALUE
What N556BD might be worth
Rough range$18K to $52K
A rough range for a 1955 single-engine piston airplane, with a middle of about $30K. From manufacturer-published new prices of comparable 75 hp single-engine piston airplanes, depreciated for age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N556BD itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
