1991 Reatta: She's home!

[14Accent]

Here it is folks! Needs tires and rear struts FOR SURE, but otherwise it runs and drives almost perfectly. All the interior electronics function, save for the air conditioning which is still the original R-12. I've already started sourcing a front bumper, they look to be ~$200.

I can't wait to get started on the refurbishment. I'll get a set of tires on it before doing any more serious driving.

You're braver than I, good luck and keep us updated!

Pretty neat and enjoy the project. Love the digital dash, is this the GM that talks?

 

[Trav]

Nice find, it needs a little TLC but the body looks really good sans the bumper. If it runs and drives well you have a fun little project there. Well done!

Lunatic fringe --- I know your out there. Great find, would catch my eye driving by and good luck.

Glad you got your dream car. Even better that it's a bit of a project and you can bond with it.

Nice Ride. My Grandad has one and I drove it quite a bit in high school. Can confirm that the digital dash will indicate 100+mph. haha

That is awesome!! Enjoy it!

Love the red on red on red. Disappointed they don't do this anymore, not even in a cadillac.

I love that bright red interior.

I always thought these were cool cars. GM tried and had some neat stuff in the 80s that carried into the 90s. But at some point in the late 80s, they just gave up.

Love it
It should clean up, maybe the wheel can be redyed red
That aftermarket hole in the dash makes me sad, hopefully eBay can find an original radio

 

[leadcounsel]

For a grand, awesome score! Congrats

 

[riverblue]

What a clean and unique design. Well done!

There is a Buick-GMC dealership in town; I remember asking the manager how the Reatta was selling. "They are sold as fast as we can get them."
FWD, right? I think this was Buick's 1st 2 seater...
Have fun with it.

Paint the rims and trim red. Go all in.

Obligatory Auto Auction Rebuilds reference, since it looks almost the same as the Cadillac Allante that they have been working on lately.
