BUICK: Reatta COUPE

I acquired my 1990 Gray Reatta coupe from family, and have put considerable time and energy into making fixes and improvements while keeping the original brilliance unspoiled. I love this car, and enjoy the time I have spent working on it. Unfortunately, with a toddler and another on the way, I’m realizing how impractical it is to keep a 2 seat coupe in my garage. I wish I didn’t have to part with my Reatta, but I need to make room (both physically and financially) for a more practical family car. I hope that my Reatta will go to someone who enjoys this unique vehicle as much as I do.
In the three years since I’ve owned my Reatta, I have completed the following work. The engine and interior work was sourced out to trusted vendors, while the smaller fixes I took on myself.
Full Engine tune up (all new belts, hoses, wear parts)
Suspension tightened / tune up
Brake system flush
Transmission Flush
AC Converted to R134 and leaky compressor replaced
