Look at it this way. You say that 2nd gens are just now starting to get some serious attention. Well, they've been out of production since '81, 25 years ago. The last thirdgens rolled out in '92, just 14 years ago. So, it is a bit premature to say that they will "never" be valuable or coveted. Other than the highly limited anniversary models or super-special cars, many cars have endured periods where no one could foresee their collector interest. In 1975, a '70 Charger was just another used car...and now? I personally think that the thirdgens, especially the ones mentioned above, will increase in value and collectibility. They are pretty cool cars.

At the same time, I hope they do not, so used and NOS parts and rusty basket case vehicles won't command the hyper-inflated prices of 60's musclecars, edging Joe Average out of the hobby.

BTW, there are a good number of replacement/reproduction parts for thirdgens available, and dealers routinely doscontinue parts for all cars after what, 5 years or so?
