I agree with the above, but will add that scarcity is beginning to become a real thing for the air coolers. They aren't making any more of them, and it's been 20 years since even the newest was new. Screws up basic supply and demand curves. And, makes every guy with a crashed rat with a bad quickie paint job think he has a Singer.
But the biggest thing, by far, is the emotions and demographics of the folks who buy these cars. Those of us who remember when the cars were new and we were a lot younger. We happen to be in or approaching our peak earning years, when we can afford things that take us back in time--like much younger blonde girlfriends/second wives and aircooled 911s.
Time will come when we all die off, and a whole new generation of "flat six classics fans" (996, 997, and 991) will replace us as the bulge in the enthusiast's python. Air cooled guys will be a distant second place, and 356 fans will be there hardly at all.
