Roving eye?
Why oh why do I do this? I have a nice Vette, I have put money into it, I plan to keep it. But.......still I look at other ones. Oh Hell, why not admit it? I LUST after other ones. Like this one. I would love to have a black with red guts stick shift vert. I want it, I gotta have it. But I know if I sold mine and bought this one the cycle would start over again! I'm a sick puppy!

Does your wife know about your "Roving Eye" ? 
I don't blame you, afterall it is an addiction that most of us share. BTW....That is a very nice looking vert.

i have 2 beautiful Corvettes and i still can not drive by a parked Vette and not want to look the car over. The cars are just that beautiful. Have beautiful wife and have the same problem just I wear dark glassesand learned not to move my neck. Seriously, nothing wrong with appreciating beauty of any type.

That's cute! Ron... no worries. It means you're normal. If you weren't lusting after other cars, then we'd be worried!!!

Ron,
Your 87 is fine. Black exteriors make the Corvette styling more pronounced and with the red interior, the visual contrast is stunning. I don't ever recall seeing your current '87 exterior color in person. Only 245 out of 30,632 made in '87 with Medium Brown Metallic exteriors. I believe if you sold it to by the black one, you may regret it afterwards.
Check out Corvettes of Western PA Home page. I was so impressed with your C4, I wanted to put it on my site's Home page for Saturday. Maybe you can send me some photos and background on it and I can feature it on my site in the next few months?
Good luck at whatever you decide.
