I always thought later model 23s weren't as valuable as early 23s I wouldn't think it would fetch 50k either.

Normally, anytime you customize a vehicle, VW or otherwise you decrease the value. And that 23 as a custom job is pushing the envelope with the asking price. A perfectly restored original 23 will push over $100,000, but that 23 in the ad, IMO does not look that well done plus it's custom and they will be lucky to get $50,000.
