if you buy an aftermarket power antenna, dont forget about the stupid negative activation of the stock antenna! you have to use a relay to change the - to + feed for the power antenna. write up for it somewhere.

I bought a replacement power antenna for my 87 last year at Crutchfield (www.crutchfield.com). Can get in black or chrome. Not too hard to install, looks good and works well (plus, if you screw up, you can call Crutchfield for free technical advice).
Also, you don't need an aftermarket relay to actuate the automatic up and down when you turn the radio on or off; once I figured out the right wire from the harness to connect, it worked just fine. When you take out the old antenna, it's easiest just to cut that harness, then solder the appropriate wires to the new antenna leads.
