Cargirl Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Very interesting Reatta used for ancillary race duties for the PPG Champ Car series. Good story, nice car!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-Buick-Reatta-Buick-Reatta-1988-buick-reatta-ppg-champcar-indy-pace-car-only-1-made-11-/141406982651?forcerrptr=true&hash=item20ec8351fb&item=141406982651&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This car sold at auction several years ago when Champ Car went out of business. Someone will remember the selling price but I'm thinking it was about $7,500The car was sold without title.....only a bill of sale because (we believe) the exhaust had been modified and was technically not street legal. It has changed hands a couple of times and somehow acquired a title. Nothing really historic about the car as it was not modified by Buick.

D-a-n-i-e-l Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I lovr the look of the car but the color has been an issue with me sense the first time I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cargirl Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 The seller keeps mentioning the photo's do not do justice to the color, it does look a bit boring. Would like to see it in person. I would really research the title issue as well, if I could not drive it I would not want to own it. Thats just me.

Ronnie Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I've seen photos of the interior and unless it has been changed it isn't practical to drive it on the street. Full harness racing seat belts. Lots of electrical switches have been added and there is a fuel cell in the trunk that takes up that space. I don't think it was ever intended to be titled for street use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PontiacDude210 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 M55, I would love to have a Reatta under primer like that one you just linked to. Just tape point and shoot and have a good looking car! Now that spoiler however... I've been looking for good pics of the ppg car for a while. Its rare to see a unique reatta.

JalopyBob Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 That wing just needs some multicolor flashing led lights, maybe in sync to the radio, that's all, and it will be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
