BUCIK REATTA INFO:
The Buick Reatta is a low-volume transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive, two-door, two-seater grand tourer/sports car manufactured and marketed by Buick as a coupe (1988–1991) and convertible (1990-1991) — both featuring a 3.8 liter V6 engine and shortened version of the GM E platform, the same one that underpinned the Buick Riviera.
As Buick's first two-seater and its first convertible since the 1985 Riviera, the Reatta was manufactured in a highly specialized assembly program at the Reatta Craft Center (later known as the Lansing Craft Center) in Lansing, Michigan—achieving production of over 21,000 units in four years.
The presence of the Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Fiero and Cadillac Allanté at the time of the Reatta's introduction meant that with the exception of Oldsmobile, all of GM's passenger-car divisions offered two-seaters during the late 1980s and early 1990s
The Reatta featured twin bucket seats with a storage area behind the seats featuring two lockable bins[2] and a lockable access hatch to the rear trunk. At introduction, options included 16-way power seats in lieu of 6-way power seats, side moldings in either black or body color and pinstripe delete. A sunroof became optional in late 1988, and in 1989 keyless entry was added as a standard feature.
Initially (1988-89), the Reatta featured a touchscreen computer interface, marketed as the Electronic Control Center (ECC), that included radio and climate control functions, date reminder, trip computer, user-configurable overspeed alarm as well as diagnostic access to the vehicle's electronic systems and sensors. Later models were equipped with conventional push button stereo and climate controls. The new system eliminated trip computer functionality and the climate control buttons could access diagnostic information, replacing diagnostic scanner capability formerly provided by the touchscreen.
Buick Reatta emblem, The first pilot car was finished at the Reatta Craft Centre in December 1986.Series production began in January 1988 and ended on May 10, 1991
1988 Built 4,708 (Hard top) 0 (Convertible)
We spend endless hours searching the net nationwide to track down forgotten discarded and left for dead classics and bring them to open market to find them a new home and hopefully a second chance to be out on the road again. Many of these cars have been sitting for year, some don't need much, others may need full tune ups and or restoration, but all need a new home. We are not a restoration shop, body shop or mechani, we simply track down these very Special,rare,unique or just quirky beauties where ever they are in the country and save them from sure death at Crusher .
Today we bring you whats quickly becoming another late 80s ealry 90s very desirable and a top Collectibl, a 1988 Buick Reatt, Factory/ Stock/Unrestored survivor only 81,713 miles on the clock, looks like original paint and Interior. Found and rescued from Florida,USA after sitting unused for some time, it does come with a clean title and all paper work its ready to go . Expected to sale for a very reasonable price, good investment potential.
