THIS AD HAS EXPIRED https://dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/cto/d/kennedale-1991-buick-reatta/6853615644.html I have three Reattas for sale - liquidating to fund another project. Will make a package deal. THANKS! Rodney 817-891-8510

1965rivgs - maybe Ron and I can work out a deal - thanks! KongaMan - yes, very good advice - all of which I know (even though you wouldn't be able to tell it by my ad 😮) unfortunately, I have foot/ankle injuries that limit my mobility at this time - I am getting better, so I will put up a better ad if I decide on relisting it.

Yes, and thank you for your positive comments. I hope that I find someone who will love it. If not, I will just have to sell some of my other projects and re-direct my efforts to this one. It has been a long time sitting and I need to do SOMETHING with it soon. By the way, do you have the rest of that Select Sixty? Interested in any other Reattas? I have several that I will have to sell if I am to refocus on my '63. I have 88-91 coupes and two 90 convertibles. Nothing in great condition, but all rebuildable or good parts cars. Plus, they are ALL under $4,000 each! 😁

I do have GOOD, working hydraulics WITH new lines (not cheap plastic ones, but actual hydraulic lines with all the correct fittings to upgrade the system), the original column, wheel, and linkage. Yes, I do have the front cornering lamps.Yes, there is a hole in the floor for the floor shift. Yes, the leather upholstery is gone (only noted as to the options that the car had, not that it was in good condition). I understand that most folks would not want to spend this much for this much of a project, but I put it out there for the person who might want to that is willing to actually talk to the seller and make an offer, so I invite anyone who has a love for these old 225's to call me with any questions and their offer if they are interested. THANKS!

For the record: 1) I have most (if not all all) of the original parts for it, including bright work AND top hydraulics. 2) The Stage One emblem was put in the grille because the grille was already broken. I have a non-broken grille. 3) The only things that I have really "hacked" are the vent holes in the front fenders and speaker holes in the rear trim panels. 4) The engine is numbers matching but has a spun rod bearing. The block has been bored .060 and the heads have hardened guides and seats to handle unleaded fuel. I do have a spare engine. 5) It is fully optioned as far as I know - auto-on and auto-dimming headlamps, electric drivers seat, electric windows and vent windows, electric top, leather interior, rear-seat speaker, cruise control. The wheels are Kelsey Hayes Magstars - the same style used on Shelbys - they are pretty rare for GM bolt patterns. I do not think that I have the original hubcaps, but might have the original rims and lug bolts that can go with it. 60FlatTop - The statement "serious buyers only" applies to average Craigslist people, who seem to enjoy sending texts at 3 in the morning to ask if it is tagged and inspected (I am NOT joking). It does not apply to someone who is serious about buying it and would like to talk about it. First and foremost I am looking for someone who would love to have it and give it the care I can not. What's the price that would make you interested? I am open to questions, but unfortunately do not have the time to answer 100 questions via text. If you are interested, feel free to call and we can talk. BTW, the pictures were taken at night with a Ryobi light, not a Coleman Lantern 😉 Not wanting anyone to "enrich this dreamer to the tune of $4K to bail him out" - bail me out of what? I'm not sure why you would even say such a thing, I'm just a guy trying to sell a car.

Good to know - looking forward to hearing the details on the Lucerne one. THANKS!

It says that it has a salvage title - I wonder what kind of damage it had.

Is the Lucerne one bolt on or stick on? If it is stick on, it may be able to be recurved (and shortened maybe?) to fit on a Reatta.

Well, I've been busy with a lot of work, but the weather has been so nice, I just had to fix the brakes so that I could drive it more! I had to change the brake pump out. I tried changing the accumulator first, but still had the pump running full time with no fluid level change or pedal change. After changing the pump, all is well with no Brake or ABS lights on anymore! I changed the rear speakers with some Kickers and replaced the radio with a Nesa brand unit that I purchased from a pawn shop for $20 (not a very high-end unit, but it is a DVD double DIN that fits in a single DIN space). I also bought some Kickers for the front, but haven't had the time to swap those out yet. More to come later!

THANKS! Now, I wonder................did it STAY in Texas??????

What? don't like the black/red project? Just remove the chrome "vents", extra emblems, hood scoop, rear spoiler, big chrome rims, and repaint it and it's a real good looking car!

Is that a moustache on the front of it?

Wow, that list did not "paste" well - let me try it again: Constant 12V+ Orange Switched 12V+ Yellow Ground Black Illumination Gray Dimmer Brown Antenna Trigger Pink Antenna Location Right Rear Front Speakers 5 1/4" Doors Left Front (+) Tan Left Front (-) Gray Right Front (+) Light Green Right Front (-) Dark Green Rear Speakers 5 1/4" Rear Wall Left Rear (+) Brown Left Rear (-) Yellow Right Rear (+) Dark Blue Right Rear (-) Light Blue One other thing to note - as wiring ages, sometimes the wiring color does not look like the "original" color. So you might have to look carefully.

This is according to www.the12volt.com - not always 100% accurate, but a good place to start. As far as I remember, the CD is just extra wiring on top of the "regular" wiring (only messed with it once a few years back when I found a remote CD in a Riviera in a junkyard and was going to put in my '90 coupe, but finally wound up using an MP3 player instead) , so if you are removing it, there should be no problems with wiring. Others might have additional details or corrections.

Sweet ride! What is that paint color called?
