  1. Wonder if it's a Select 60? Look at the Service Parts label in the trunk (next to the spare tire) If there is an X22 code it's a Select 60
  2. LOL, I have a lot of faith in that - Hitler was more open to suggestion and critique
  3. Similar thing happened to the Buick buy/sell section, it didn't get removed but moved to where you have to go looking for it everytime you want to look at it. The ease of use of the forum has dropped remarkably. Try doing a specific search of a group on a smartphone or iPad, near impossible. The forums operating system is awful
  4. I don't believe there is a decline of the Reatta hobby, I think Facebook hurt this group immensely. The main FB group has 1400 members and the smaller one 711. The main one is extremely active. Also the convenience of doing your social media and your car stuff all at one place plays into it as well. I think the rigidness and changing things around all the time of the AACA with the Buick groups has hurt as well, neutering the BCA's involvement on the forum soured a lot members as .
  5. I see all the for sale and wanted Reatta ads in the regular Reatta forum, I agree it works fine there and saves having to look two places
  6. I would recommend this unit especially since you are doing so much of this now. I have had one for about 4 years and it does a fantastic job https://www.floormatshop.com/Detailer-Pro-Heated-Carpet-Extractor.aspx?matchtype=&network=g&device=c&keyword=&campaign=1337060088&adgroup=pla-513380765727&_vsrefdom=floormatshop&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIue6Zvf6w7gIViaCGCh0oGgmeEAQYByABEgKVevD_BwE
  7. The seem to be with the Reatta general posts
  8. Look at the car on a big screen, the right front fender appears to have a major paint issue, there are marks and scratches all over the rear, the left headlight has been replaced or... the interior is tired, looks like it was rode hard and put away wet for a car with 69K miles. There wouldn't be much original paint on the car and even if you only had to paint the hood and light it would make the rest look awful. The top is also on its way out. I would consider it a rough daily driver for someone
  9. looks like splits in the seat fabric. Typical low option LeSabre sedan
  10. The cost to properly restore this one would be huge, it needs everything to bring it up par
  11. It's not listed in either the 90 or 91 GM/Buick accessory book
  12. Perhaps you should add it to your collection, it's right up your alley for what you usually buy
  13. You can look anywhere for one, that was not an option so there would be no Reatta specific one. Also checked the Buick Accessories Car Care Products Book(dealer installed accessories) and there wasn't one listed there either
  14. It’s easier to buy a car with 16 way seats than it is to buy a nice car and find nice set of 16 way seats to put in it.
  15. There’s no comparison between comfort level and adjustability between the two
  16. Once again we see a Reatta selling for fantastic money - this is without doubt becoming not an unusual occurrence on right cars, OK naysayers, go at it My opinion is the same as Barney's, when buying one, always buy the very best Reatta you can afford. Try to find one with the 16 way seats, it's worth the wait.
  17. Yes, fire red was available on them in both 71 & 72, and it's certainly likely that some were special ordered in fire red
  18. I don't believe red was an available color on those in 73, if it is original paint it would be a special order
  19. I thought this was really strong or maybe crazy money for this particular example, needs a new top which means add at least $1500 instantly, interior is ok but definite issues, plus standard not 16 way seats. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-Buick-Reatta-/333839001480?hash=item4dba5ae788%3Ag%3AhfQAAOSw9RNf6Smd&nma=true&si=O9jTbXS%2FX0FIiUJfHs%2BLmFbQlVw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  20. Looking close at some of the picture it may not be as nice as it appears in pictures. The rear chrome looks particularly bad. Fantastic color though
