One other thought to consider, since preservation has been mentioned a couple of times:
It's a rare car, and even more so since you've been able to find the original officer that drove it. That's a big plus, and very few people have been fortunate enough to be in your situation.
The brochure theme, while really nice, is not what the car was originally, and it's really just a clone.
Bottom line, it's your car and I think you should do what makes you happiest with it. It's nice as-is, and will be nice if you repaint it, too.
