I thought "over priced shoe boxes" were WRXs !
.......even though I paid the same price as a rusted out bug for my splitty, I'll put about 20k into it anyway.....

Splits are iconic - globally - and getting rare, thats why they are expensive. They are representative a specific time in the 20th century that changed the world, and people identify with them because of that, and the fact they were common. This is why they pop up in advertising all the time - they are sooooo appealling."Bent" windows will end up in this league too.
Other common defining iconic vehicles are probably porsche 356/911, citroen ds, 57 chev, mgb, mini cooper s, e-type jags, etc etc....australian specifics are the SLR5000, GTHO, Sandman and the mighty P76
Ghias are rare, gorgeous, but not iconic
beetles are as common as muck (not dissin the beetle tho')
type 3's rock - the best driving car vw ever made, but alas not iconic
My splitty is noisy, slow, smelly and pretty much crap, but I've been driving it every day for 10 years and I wouldn't have anything else because it makes me happy and calm when I drive it.
peace love and mung beans

Are they overpriced? In some cases yes, definitely yes. In other cases, no.
The old I sunk 40k into it why shouldn’t I ask 30k is a crock. Money poured into something doesn’t make it worth more. If an original rust free bare shell is worth $X, is a bare shell that has had $X multiplied by 5 of rust repairs worth more? Absolutely not.
Price will be determined by many factors. The desirability of that particular model at that particular time and a person with that particular taste being around will decide the price the market will bare.
Then there are people who are in control of hordes who are simply trying to gouge enthusiasts because they can.
