87WE2

Hey Padgett, I have Black pinstriping on mine. Have not seen many with that color, but it is universal. Should look fine. Call me if you want to throw it back, and forth. Paul.

Yea, and it's a vert too. One owner (not the ebay seller though). That upper radiator hose looks real close to the turbo. And he claims the turbo "enhances" the performance. A nice way of saying it was driven hard. Why else would you put a turbo on a car that's pretty quick as is. Hope he has all the original parts!

Just leave two complete Reattas out there. If left alone, they might repopulate the species.

Stripping a Reatta is a pain in the rear. Sounds easy, until you actually start doing it. You need to be a contortionist to get the hard parts, and have the tools to remove them. Padgett will agree with me on this one. Anyway, after you strip the parts, clean them, answer a ton of email, sell them, and ship them, what will you do with the remains? Assuming you have a engine hoist, something to hold the trans while you lower it, and four doughnut wheels so it still rolls. There are enough Reatta/Riviera parts cars/vendors floating around these days. Sell them, or restore them don't crush them!

I kept my Reatta, and got rid of the wife.

If you remember the Buick Berle Show, your dating yourself! When you mention service stations, the key word to rember is "service". It's a lost art today.

Yea, I unlock mine w/remote (pushing the button only once), but it cycles two or three times afterwards. Have no idea, looking for info too.

I don't know where to fix the circut board, but Jim's the man! Helped me out more then once.

Hey, what's wrong with AAA???

Padgett, Gee, that car looks familiar. Come to think of it, so does the driveway.

Don't get me started about a GNX. I never should have sold mine (#509 see attchment).

Hey Dave, I think I got the wrong piece for you. The one we talked about was more in the center of the dash, and more toward the windshield. Between and under the two small grills. I'll go back next week for the other one. Paul.

I had to sell the GNX when I got divorced. It was the usual story, but no way on Gods Green Earth she was going to get it. I would have crushed the car before that happened. I really miss having a T/R. I get my cars serviced at KDK Performance (Orlando) regularly. Everytime I go there, I drool at all the ones he has in there for service. Maybe I'll just sell this Reatta, and go back to the GN. That I can drive the crap out of! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Oh yea, if you go to the turbo buick website, I still prowl around under 87WE2!

Mark, I think ebay is a great selling tool. It's a 24 hour worldwide garage sale. I've had great luck over the last 3 plus years. Now if I can get rid of all the door glass! Since you are the current owner of not one but two T/R's, I can relate. I had one new, seven used, and GNX #509 (see attachment) over the last 16 years. I probably will have another one (eventually) soon. Anyway, good luck with your auctions. Paul.

Not every used part is bad. If that were the case salvage yards, and used part suppliers would out of business. Maybe people just don't want to pay new prices for something used that works fine. On that thought, I guess when something breaks that is no longer available new, then we will all just have to do without. Most people on this board know they get what they pay for. There are no surprises here.
