Can this paint be saved or is it to far gone?

It does mostly look like oxidation which you should be able to correct with a D/A polisher like the Porter/Griots/Meguiars etc.
It's hard to see from the photos but it looks like the clearcoat may have failed in a few spots, if that is the case, I think repainting is the only solution. Clearcoat failure is very common for Jags of that era if they have been left outside a lot.
You can check by rubbing those areas with some compound on a white cloth. If after a few rubs you see red paint then you know the clearcoat has failed.

The paint was the reason I got it so cheap. I had already planed on getting it repainted over the winter. But I had hopped I could just buff it out and not have to repaint.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to buy a porter cable and give it a try. It's something I would use on my other cars anyway.
