78 Deville... Should I buy?

[eldorado99@shaw.ca]

Theres a 78 Deville nearby that I would love to purchase... however Im 17 and only make $8.00 an hour. *owned* Anyway, I do have an 84 Ford LTD for a daily driver that ought to last another year or 2, it has a 232cid V6 so its reasonably cheap to fuel. As you can see I am going to need another car soon. My question is, how feasible is it for me to buy said Deville (425cid by the way) and get it ready for daily use (it would be in merely ok shape) within a year or twos time. AND at that point, how feasible is it for a 17 year old making 8 bucks an hour to fuel such a beast?

:W to :V If you think you can handle the fuel that beast would need go ahead and buy it. Making $8.00 an hour at 17 , I wish that i made that much when i was 17. My first job at 18 the minimum wage was $2.90 an hour.
