Barney Eaton Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 The interesting thing about this car is the color combination.Bright Red exterior with red (burgundy) interior was a special order that I have only seen on 1990 cars.I have sent the seller a note asking for a picture of the Service Parts Label to verify that the car has not been repainter and truly is original in that combination.Here is the Ebay adhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buick-Rea...sspagenameZWDVW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Good price(so far). I wish I could bring another car home...... Great color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 On my monitor the car seems to be smoking quite bad in one of the photos. Anyone else see that? Although the color combo is unique I personally feel that the red and burgundy clash when together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kennyw Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Barney: must be real. I doubt anyone would change all the things that would need to be changed. I also think this combo. clashes when put together...........ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 When we first heard about the 1990 Reattas with this combination, I also thought the two colors would not work together, I have seen the one 1990 convertible and it is not that bad.......just unique.I suspect this is an original car, the way it came from the factory, however there is always the chance the exterior was repainted. Until the seller sends me a photo of the Service Parts Label we will not know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWC Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Barney if you look at the engine compartment it's red also, although it could be done it's a big job to paint it and most people just wont go thru that much work and put the decal on the shock tower. Unlike others I like this combo, and could always use another Reatta, after all in years to come I think it's going to get a lot harder to find these cars.

CoolWheels Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I had a chance to buy a low mileage 90 Reatta with this color combo but after thinking about it a couple days, I decided it was just too much of a color clash for me. Different strokes for different folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheresjim Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I was just looking to see if I could pick another up, and there's only one with a broken vent window, I know those are like $750 to replace unless you guys have come up with a new source. Eh, it's blue anyway, I'd rather get another red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheresjim Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Wow! It's come down alot! I haven't had a Reatta since 2001 (and haven't followed this board since then), but at one point it was very hard to find vent glass, GM had discontinued it, and people were reportedly paying $750 for them.
