If it is truly the original paint and just like new, it will be worth a lot less with new paint. Right now, it may well be a Bloomington Gold Survivor candidate and an NCRS BowTie candidate. Repaint, and you will lose much of that.
I'd run it through those before I did a thing to the car except wash and wax it.

I don't think you can buy that car for $25k, I think more like $35k. BB, Vert, chrome bumpers.....$$$$

If I owned that car AND needed the money, $35K would be my fire sale price. There's too much nitpicking out there on cars. Too much nitpicking and you'll never end up with a car.

$30k - $35k at most for a non-A/C car.. Realistic value is probably somewhere in the upper $20k's
With factory A/C, I'd say that it's over $40k but not without A/C
