No. The wire harness that plugs into the radio are different. They changed the plug design in 1989. Check out Radio Shack for a aftermaket fix for the plug. Its just a pain to change all the plug wires.

I would go someplace like best buy and get two harnesses. One will be the harness for your 87 (male that will plug into the harness in your 87). One will be a REVERS harness for a 91-92. This harness is like the female one the car that would plug into the 91-92 radio. Use the two and make an adapter.
