Yes, that was one of the first cars with the dreaded timing BELT! I would think that using one of today's belts COULD possibly extend the change interval, but given the consequences, there's no way that I'd risk it.
As far as changing it yourself, it brings to mind what my Dad used to tell me: "You'll never learn any younger!" That was his way of encouraging a determined attitude.
If you're set on the car, you can learn to change the belt.
Good luck with it.
