  1. Hi Barney. I have history here with having had 4 Reatta back some days ago. So Thanks for all that Reatta support. Never ever not a 3800. That's why I got the 07 Lucerne! The last of the 3800 blocks cast. The PA has a good point I am thinking that when backing a trailer the alert won't be sounding off as if it had one. Think the PA would have better lines with the Home Depot rental trailer. Thanks again.
  2. Missing out on renting tools not fitting in back seat. Which car gets it...07 Lucerne or 01 PA base to put a trailer hitch on to?
  3. Hello Pagett. I hope I find You Well. Long Time! I've been without my Reatti for 11 years now. Att has taken it and me down and out as a field tech. I Wish I May Find a ready To Go Car one day. I'm driving now a 07 Lucerne. Last of the 3.8. Also I and got the Wife an 01 PA..You just don't buy one you have to inherit it. Got lucky...No one died. BTW the Chilton link to the the Chilton page has been changed. Any recovery data on that? Thanks Bob Merry Christmas to the Bunch of You.
  4. I have been away a while and have Many Fewer posts. I've missed you guys... looking at a dealer kept 90 white with fire red interior for a price... I like the older steering wheel but hey. Still I Happily I got the '07 Lucerne and moved the olde four cars to a restorer. He's made two with Gold chrome in red he tells me. Finally got the Wife into a '01 PA. You can't buy one of those, you have to inherit one. But I got lucky at 60 K miles..still looks new. I think the PA is quicker and heard they detuned the Lucerne to save the tranny by backing the cam off by one tooth. Makes sense (or cents). Still growls nice. I miss the Reatta Muffler.. It had a sound of its own. I heard you can use a Camaro muffler backwards to get that noise. Later Bob
  5. How do I go about putting ultra ventiports on an 01 PA? Also the door check on the driver front door is missing. I can't find any nfo on on the parts or how that procedure is done. Just a bad sketch.
  6. I've had a few Reattas now a Lucerne. Been trying to get my wife in to a Buick for a while. Never liked the blind spots anything I showed her (that is a problem these past years). I've been eyeballing a beautiful PA being worked on at a local shop and then her Lexus died and I put myself in the spare corolla. Then the 01 PA showed up parked in the front of the garage with a price on it! This is the kind of car you can only inherit. One owner 90 year old had only 72K on it. Jumped in on it got to haggling and the wife loved the view from inside. I've been wanting one since they day I saw one. All it needed is the front mount and rear struts, and of course a handful of rear bulbs.
  7. My Reatta's are gone now, just memories. And '91 ecm and reman Teeves brake unit, less bladder for sale
  8. Rare, my first sighting, to see a Reatta on tv. Supernatural, episode Plush.
  9. I will need a driver side black mirror. I don't want to dishevel one of them.
  10. Barney, do you want the VINs from these? Tom Payette, the Buick dealer here in those days, tried to move them for me. and was keen to document these. The one I'm getting has the VIN also scribed on the windshield. I have not seen this before.
  11. Of course, the first thing he asked about were log books.
  12. Hi you all. I never built my own garage to fix my dream cars and working for AT&T helps none. So..I Found a fellow that worked at the Reatta plant and will buy my 4 to rebuild and make do in his 6 car garage!!! From this I will buy a garage kept dealer 89 white red 16 way show-room pretty.
