That's cool, I understand that it is worth keeping and now know a little more about the car. I'm not sure that I would rush right out and have the car stripped, to go for a repaint though. I would find a shop or someone that you can trust and ask them to look at it and give a recommendation. If the car is as nice at it seems, the paint might be repaired to give you more years of service. Like what was mentioned before, go get an estimate or two or three.
