What do you mean "ONE DAY"? Look in a classified that isn't II-specific...They are already rarer than the earlier classics. Yes, some can still be had cheap, but some of the models are already climbing in value, even as restorable project cars.
15 years ago, I paid $450 for my 78 V8 T-top. Put a bit of work into it over the course of 6 months as a daily driver.
I paid $250 for a 78 V6 coupe. Currently the only one that runs... (ironic, eh?)
My 78 Ghia was a special find. Needs minor work (plus a rebuilt engine) but has valid potential for future value.
My 77 Cobra, though, I paid over $1,100 for a car that hadn't run in two years, needed bodywork, hatch, inner fenders, no gastank, 4 flat tires, and rat crap sitting in old oil on the intake manifold...If it had more than just a few sections rusted on the shell, it'd be a basket case/parts car.
Maybe they aren't as desired or in demand as the other classics, but they are definitely harder to find parts for or restore.

yup. i paid 200 bucks for my 77 t-top car with a blown up V6 and nasty interior. it has a few placed rusted out like under the battery, at the bottom of the passenger side windshield pillar post (whatever its called, you see it when you open the door and look by the hinge) and around my rear wheel wells have recently started rusting, as well as a small spot under the drivers seat.
my wife wishes i would sell it, she swears if i even get hit by a bus or choke on a chicken bone she'll take the car to the junk yard - i told her i would haunt her forever if she did LOL.
my dad has a 75 mach 1 "delete" package that has all the mach 1 stuff but came from the factory with a 2.3 4 banger / 4 speed stick. you can imagine how many of those are left alive or stock. im thinking probably none. we have parts amassed for a 2.3 rebuild with some head porting, bigger valves and a erson cam (but it will still look stock)

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you're fast.

hell i remember hearing they had to use NOS in the smokey and the bandit II car to get it to do burn outs. (our cars do burn outs without NOS )
