I say pick your battles - I messed with vintage car decks in my old 60s trucks, but in my current ride (1986 toyota diesel pickup) I put in a brand new alpine. It sounds fantastic and works perfectly... Yeah kind of an eyesore in the dash but I can't make every single aspect of life into a project. It was like $80 brand new and an hour to install.
That car is really nice and given the substantial cabin, smooth engine and lack of road noise if you outfitted it with a modern car stereo you could really make it rock... Car stereos from before the mid 80s just weren't "there yet" like the vintage home stereo gear was in my opinion.
Also if you have some power to spare you can get better speakers with a lower resonant frequency and synthetic cone material, for another upgrade over the cheap paper cone 6x9 s
