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", (of
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 consigner, this
well cared for example was 1 family owned until recently, is very
original, comes with lots of service receipts, and is presented
very well with only 2,132 convertibles built in '90...somewhat
rare. This car also has only traversed 36,462 title verified actual
miles, has lots of conveniences, a sporty look, and a comfortable
ride are just a few of its many assets.
Exterior
Bathed in its original Bright Red paint, it is holding up very
nicely and with no rust and only one scuff on the neoprene bumper.
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 red. 15-inch aluminum wheels
are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in like new 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 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/Cassette player with an EQ 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 LED 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 and this drive train is certainly all original. A 2.97
geared front axle drives the tires to propel you to the country
club.
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 transfer leaf suspension on back. Power disc
brakes are all around and the exhaust appears to be 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 save for the
right headlight not rotating up when prompted and the right horn
button falling off the steering wheel. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
An overabundance of documentation, and some 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 convertible top. Comfort never looked so
sporty. Sportiness never was so comfortable, but hey! It's a
Buick.
