1990 Buick Reatta Convertible Original Owner
I am the original owner of 1G4EC33C8LB904171, a 1990 Red / Tan convertible. I purchased it new from Bano Buick in Bedford Hills, NY on December 12, 1990. I have all of the original documentation for the vehicle. It was a daily driver for the first few years, then only driven sporadically, and finally parked. Unfortunately it is showing signs of old age. The car is all original! Headlights won’t stay up (I’ve been meaning to fix this for years now), steering wheel leather is frayed, convertible top must be replaced, and some minor body work. The car needs some work from sitting over the last few years. If you’re in the area, come by and make me an offer. I have been a member of this forum since the late 90’s (had to reactivate my user name). The car is located in Charleston, South Carolina (29455). I wanted to put it here before I listed it on eBay. I really hadn’t planned on selling but…
