1990 Buick Reatta

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 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, a 1990 Buick Reatta convertible with a title verified 9,901 actual miles. Other than the dealership, this is a one owner car, highly pampered and always garaged. If a low mileage, original example of Buick's unique two seater is on your radar, this might be the one you've been waiting for! Exterior Bathed in its original Bright Red paint and accented by a gold pinstripe, the uniquely shaped Reatta is instantly recognizable with hidden headlights and flush wraparound tail lights that span the entire width of the car with a reflective band. A tan canvas top caps this 2 seater and has a glass window with defrost feature and presents in great shape. Side moldings in the middle are red and add a chrome topper to race around the car to create some interest on the red along with Reatta call out on each side in their unique font. 15-inch aluminum wheels with sunburst emblems in the center are wrapped in 205/75R15's with a late 2023 date code. Imperfections include a scuff on front bumper and some separation as a result, a scuff on the rear bumper wrap around and paint peeling from the back surface, various minor chips, edge wear on side molding, various minor scuffs. Interior Handsome door panels covered in tan with black faceplates to the hardware and switchgear, further complemented by the carpet insert on the bottom. Both doors appear in very nice condition. Tan leather buckets have complex linear stitching, and the driver's side shows some very light wear usage; the passenger side is in great shape. Compartment doors behind the seats are covered in low plush carpet which continues on the footwell floors in great shape and protected by matching mats. Our steering wheel is pure 90's and fronts a flat dash panel that sports nifty fluorescent gauge displays in GM's blue LCD configuration and it all feels a bit like a video game! The center stack is canted slightly towards the driver and contains the A/C controls and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD unit, but fret not purists as the original radio is included. Below is the shifter in the center console over a plastic panel, all in great condition. Let's not overlook the change holder, a relic of the 80's when people or catch baskets worked the toll booths. Both the boot that holds the stowed top and the trunk in back are lined in gray cloth panels and present cleanly. Drivetrain Clean conditions prevail under the hood where we find the 3.8 liter V6, fed fuel with fuel injection and rated at 185 horsepower. A 4T60E 4-speed automatic transmission is on board and keeps power at the front wheels and 2.97 gearing. There is A/C which was converted to 134A in 2025 and our battery is from 2024, according to our consignor. Undercarriage Showing some age but not much use is the originally configured underside, featuring a single exhaust that flows through the factory muffler which emits twin steel pipes to serve as exhaust tips. Power disc brakes are equipped on the front and rear and suspension is independent at both ends with coil springs in front and a transflex leaf in back. Drive-Ability We hope in this fresh '90 and hit the test loop in this unique 2 seater, one of many we've handled at the mall but by fall the lowest mileage example yet! As such, the car does everything well with the kind of personal luxury sportiness that attracted buyers 30 years ago. All functions on this convertible operate as they should. While Classic Aut
