Woah, calm down there, Im being serious, Gm paint sucks, especially since its old, and depending on what factory you got your car from it could be worse, and you dont want to just do something and then think its fixed and then get a cheap paint job later.
ask me how I know..

i got my paint job at maaco and it was the second bigest mistake i made with my car. Just cause you have some peeling clear doesnt mean you need a new paint job, though take care of whats good, go to borders and look for an automotive detailing book, sit down and read it get some ideas then right them down, and go put the book back. just take it slow.

GM really blew it with paint jobs back in da 80s. I bought a Z24 brand new in '87, and the paint was shot in no time.

GM paint really was lousy in the 80's. I looked at many Monte Carlo SS cars that were silver and the paint was shot and usually the black ones were too. I would take your car to a shop and see what they say. If the area where the clear coat is missing is damaged too much by the sun then your best option might be for a new paint job.

once the clear peels and just leaves raw basecoat your probably not gonna get it to shine againand if you leave it like that for an extended period of time lets say a couple years its gonna start to rust... id start saving for a new paint job or if its only peeling in one spot of the car take it to a shop and get it blended out but then your gonna have one nice part and the rest old paint.... choose wisely... wasnt gm experimenting with waterborn paints in the 80's? they suck

iroc86 did you ever try to buff it up... or has all the clear chipped off... youd be surprised on what a nice buff job will get you on a base/clear finish...
