"Case in point: A 1951 VW Transporter 23-Window Samba, which cost about $2200 when new ($22K today), has an average #1-condition (Concours) value of… wait for it… $198,000. One in #2 (Excellent) condition is worth $111,000, one in #3 (Good) condition is valued at $60,600, and one in #4 (Fair) is $39,000. Not bad for a vehicle known as a hippie van."
