Our Take:
- The Buick Reatta is a bit of a unicorn in the automotive world. Introduced in the late '80s, it was Buick's attempt at a sporty two-seater—something you wouldn't really expect from a brand known for its plush sedans. The fact that only about 22,000 Reattas were produced makes it quite a collector's item, especially since just 2,500 of those were convertibles. It's not every day you come across these rare gems.
- Under the hood, you’ve got a trusted companion with the 3.8-liter V6 engine. This is the same engine that powered numerous other GM vehicles and earned a reputation for its reliability and decent performance. It wasn't the speed demon of its time, but it offered smooth power delivery—sort of like a comfy pair of driving gloves. Paired with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, it’s a setup built more for cruising than racing.
- The Reatta convertible stands out for its craftsmanship. Unlike some mass-produced counterparts, the Reatta was hand-built in Lansing, Michigan, which adds a layer of exclusivity and prestige. The hand-assembly process was Buick's way of pushing the envelope on quality—pretty bold for that era. Many enthusiasts appreciate this model not just for its rarity but for the attention to detail invested in its production.
- It's a time capsule with modern reliability. With so many new parts recently installed, including headlight motors and an electronic climate control system, this Reatta is primed for both nostalgia trips and daily drives. It’s like having a classic rock record collection that plays as clear as vinyl just pressed yesterday. And let’s not forget the bonus—the owner's manual and shop manuals—perfect for anyone who enjoys diving into the mechanical mysteries of their ride.
