Vehicle Description
1990 Buick Reatta Convertible
The Buick Reatta was originally penned as a two-seat sports car for
Buick. After much contemplation and focus on the brand's buyers, it
was decided to come out with an older luxury minded buyer's car,
with front wheel drive, a 2-door coupe, comfortable interior and
soft ride. Today the Reatta stands out for its "futuristic", (at
the time), styling and driver interface. It was one of the least
expensive handmade modern cars produced at the Lansing Craft
Center, with each car including a "craftsman's log" of its
builders.
For consignment, from a passionate about Reattas consignor, this
well cared for example is all original and is now like showroom
new, and with only 2,132 convertibles built in '90...it's somewhat
rare. This 40,402 title verified mile car is also equipped with the
2 options available for this year, a CD player, and a 16, (yes
count 'em... 16), way driver's power seat. Lots of conveniences, a
sporty look, and a comfortable ride are just a few of its many
assets.
Exterior
Bathed in its original Black paint, it is holding up very nicely
and with no rust. A low mileage car helps a bit too, and this one
is just fab! Hidden halogen headlights and a clean all working tan
canvas convertible top, this aerodynamic 2-seater can be a pleasure
to drive. A gold accent pinstripe, and some 3-dimensional moldings
just below the belt line with a chrome thin topper both race around
this rounded car to create some highlight on the black. 15-inch
aluminum wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in like new
215/65R15 rubber.
Interior
Saddle leather buckets are nice and comfortable and sit in a very
clean and well-preserved interior. Plenty of conveniences surround
these seats including the actual driver's seat with 16-way
adjustable power controls. Other features are a keyless entry,
power windows, power steering, power door locks, cruise control,
tilt steering and a rear window defogger. Even an AM/FM/CD player
is installed. The dash, center console, and door panels are all
original equipment and are all like they just left the showroom.
Speaking of the dash, it sports nifty vacuum-fluorescent gauge
displays and a blue LCD mileage readout. Tan carpeting covers the
floors, and a built in tonneau cover automatically covers the
downed top. A shout out to the trunk which is also well preserved,
very clean and has room for 2 golf bags.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 3.8 liter V6 which is horizontally opposed and
is fed fossils with EFI. A 4T60 4-speed automatic transmission is
on back sending power to the 2.97 geared front axle, and this drive
train is certainly all original.
Undercarriage
All clean and just a few scrapes of the undercoating seen, however
no rust, surface or otherwise. It is equipped with grand touring
suspension, which is independent coil springs upfront, and
independent with transflex leaf suspension on back. Power disc
brakes are all around and the exhaust appears to be OEM
original.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and a smooth ride, (one would expect a sports car
ride, but not this car...all luxury ride), good handling and bias
free panic braking. All functions were working well including the
A/C which kept me nice and chilly during this early July heatwave.
Just an A-1 sport luxury ride!
Some documentation and swag that came with this original car, (car
dealers would promise and include anything save for a toaster to
sell cars in the early 90's!). Plenty of convenience options, and a
power convertible top. A fully functional example of a well kept
car, and it shows nearly as showroom quality. A semi-rare
collectible with a 3 year run, and no rust. Comfort never looked so
sporty. Sportiness never was so comfortable, but hey! It's a
Buick.
