My 89 is in great shape with 40k miles, it is really worth it to repair the stiock cassette radio and amps to keep it original? I am new to Corvettes but there seems to be an affinity to keep them all original. I do not have any cassettes, so I would stuck with just radio, so why keep it original?

If you are happy with the sound of the bose, fix it. I've never seen a radio aside from the Camaro CD units that I liked for replacement.
You can always install an auxiliary for an outside music source such as ipod or phone

For me, it is a matter of keeping the dash looking stock on my 89. I use this from Amazon to add bluetooth support for music streaming and making phone calls.

This was not as much work as you might think and it sounds like a different system. Not the typical Bose "meh" sound, good clarity, and some real bass.
