Description

1990 Buick Reatta. Fun car to drive and a great project but it’s time to get a larger vehicle. Starts and runs but has a rough idle at times. Most likely a sensor. Would be a great continued project or use our new parts for your own Reatta. MAF sensor, A/C upgraded and blows cold air, headlight motors, tires, brake rotors and pads, hi-flow exhaust, wheels, badges, etc…. Tag has been moved to another vehicle. Not interested in any services to help sell the car. If it’s on marketplace it’s stil...

Our Take:

Limited Production: The 1990 Buick Reatta is part of a unique chapter in automotive history. Produced for a short period between 1988 and 1991, this two-seater coupe was hand-crafted at Buick's Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan. It was a bold attempt by Buick to marry performance with luxury—like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, yet it resulted in an intriguing vehicle with only about 21,751 units ever made.
Feature-Rich for Its Time: The Reatta was ahead of its time, featuring a touchscreen interface called the Electronic Control Center (ECC) in earlier models, though by 1990, Buick simplified the dash. This was part of the brand’s attempt to innovate, something akin to a tech company's early foray into touchscreens—ambitious but a bit too early for universal acclaim.
A Collector’s Project: With its 88,338 miles, this Reatta is a true project car but also offers a solid foundation. The seller's mention of recent upgrades like a high-flow exhaust and new A/C components adds value and indicates this car has been cared for. It's a bit like a classic novel with some worn pages; a little restoration can bring out its full potential.
Distinctive Styling: The Reatta’s design was unique with pop-up headlights and a sleek, rounded body that stood apart in a sea of boxy competitors. It's a car that turns heads not because it's loud, but because it's different—a bit like spotting a rare bird in a city park. For those who appreciate the aesthetics of yesteryear, this Buick offers a nostalgic trip back to the days when car design was an art form.
