The vehicle shared an engine and interior design with the larger Buick Riviera. Only 305 convertibles were produced in 1991 making it the most exclusive of all models. Mileage on this vehicle is 81 original miles.

It is in the "details", Lot Number 190.1, Auction Las Vegas 2008

Wonder if this was one of the "donated" 1991 'verts. Also in the details: "Mileage on this vehicle is 81 original miles. Sold on a Bill of Sale."

BTW this is NOT the Blackhawk which appears to be no relation to a Reatta.

High Energy Ignition - standard on GM cars from about 1973 to DIS. Diameter is much larger than the earlier distributers to allow for high voltages required for .060" plug gaps and the coil was usually on top of the cap. Very easy to spot.

The auction ad does not tell you much about the Blackhawk.

I rode in it at the Buffalo BCA meet. My ride was around the parking lot as it was not licensed for street use.

It has a 455 Buick block with a custom built fuel injection system. The top is carbon fiber and is stowed in the trunk.

It can break the tires loose at will. A real sweet machine.
