Holy cow.... only 4k miles? That's amazing :D

That being said, there are also potential disadvantages to a car having only put on that few miles in 20 years depending on how often it has been run and serviced for example. Since we don't know anything else about the car, if you have just bought it I might suggest taking some time to inspect it top to bottom and drive it for a while to see what shakes loose before making any modifications.

After 20 years and not being driven much, a lot of the consumables and other plastic/rubber bits like suspension, gaskets, belts etc may have hardened from age and little use. So you could end up with some leaks, rattles or other minor failures once you start stressing them.

Some of those may be expensive, so you may want to have an emergency fund set aside before spending a bunch on a new stereo just yet. Plus you may find that the stock system grows on you :)

Good luck with the car, that really is an amazing find!

As an aside, you've posted this in the wrong 'model' section. I'm sure the moderators will shortly move it for you. You may also want to post this same question in one of the 'region' sections of the forum so owners local to you can answer your question about the best audio shop in your area.
