Wouldn't an unmolested 1958 VW Beetle be worth some money? I know it's not a split rear window, but it is a classic in it's own way.
Unmolested? It's got no front end and half of it is painted hot pink!!

And it has white 'Hawaiian' rubber window molding.
The '58 Canadian will probably sell to finance something else (probably the panel van) because while not un-molested, it is rare. Canadian Beetles that year came with the big back window, but semaphore turn signal pockets in the door posts. The problem is the PO baja'd it and welded "reinforcement" cr@p all over the 1971 chassis. It needs to be dropped on a restored, titled '58 pan.

Why not drop it on its balls and move the wheels in, turning the thing into one huge teardrop?

There are more ideas than VWs and money. I could see it. The lowering counteracts the loss of track. The stock front fenders can have fender skirts. Narrow the rear more than the 'easy' 3 inches, and give it a tadpole shape, like Tango Charlie says. If I can figure out how to shave the rear fenders off my 3D model, I'll definitely do a rendering of that.
Here's a photochop I posted once before:
