Not wanting to badmouth them, but they really weren't build to last.  Mostly because the companies wanted (and want?) you to keep buying a new one every few years...

Well, any vehicle will only last as long as your willing to maintain it. . .F body types do suffer from some bad engineering though. Too many spots where water can build up, piss-poor rubber seals (especially on 2nd gens- their heavily prone to rusting) heavy doors tend to sag, and having a t-top roof like the one you photographed makes matters worse. 

Don't forget it seems just about every single F-body ever made is eventually owned by some redneck who does nothing but drive it like a moron and not take care of it. . .It's their lot in life to be thrashed around. Trust me, I owned one. . .

... Wait, you're saying now that you're a redneck who drives like a moron? XD

Sadly, I did have my moments in that car...

I've seen some decent ones go for about 15k-20k USD, but they aren't painted in the black and gold.

Yeah for a restored one. Black and gold only really matters value-wise if its a Bandit Edition like the one above, with the pinstripes around it. Neither of which I could afford. I guess what I was saying was these seemingly exist in only 2 conditions where I live- Restored and near junk. No in-between.

Of course if given a budget, I could probably find you one that is in between
