It's truly rust free. That's what really matters! W123 wagons are definitely 
worth the investment for the reasons you give!

Well, I thank spokeperson for defending me but to be honest, the hood,
roof and rear hatch are all peeling badly so it's for my own pride
more than anything else that I want to prettify it.  That's prettify,
not perfectify.  Still, I have this feeling that the W123 wagons can
only go up in value due to their distinctive look, relative scarcity,
practicality, and sheer driving pleasure.

Do you have rust or is the paint just dead?

A real repaint (with all chrome, trim, glass and gaskets removed, proper
prep work, etc.) will probably cost more than the car worth.  Cheap
"mask-and-spray" job will look OK at 10 feet but a discerning eye will
spot it immediately and it will lower the value of the car should you
plan to resell it.
