Another thing you might want to consider is value. Pick up a classifieds paper for North Carolina. I bet you'll find a ton of ads for 1973-1986 Chevy pickups/suburbans/duallys, and I bet many of them will be under $2000. There are just too many of them in existence, and they're a little bit too old besides to have much value. The story will be the same with the generic sports cars (Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, etc.) in twenty years, or maybe even worse since these cars don't seem to be built with longevity in mind. That Deville probably can only gain value if it's well-maintained.
