Roadster90 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Looks as if it has most of the items, plus the black portfolio itself looks amazing in the photo with no scratches/indentations....might get up to your figure Roger....nice and complete portfolios have broght that high of a price before. Just seems many of the Reatta items that used to bring super money bring much lower prices anymore. Will be interesting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55chevy Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am looking for a 1990 if anyone wants to part with one, assuming I don't win the auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawja Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, it maxed out at $ 127.50 (reserve not met).I guess that like with everything else these days, its a buyers' market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There is no difference in the 1990 and 1991 owners portfolio except for the owners manual.Last time I checked, Helm still had new owners manuals for both years.Go to www.helminc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadster90 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Is there any difference ...any at all in the reproduction from the originals or just the "wording" - "reproduction"? 1990 Reatta Owner Manual Price: $24.00 In Stock - Reproduction of Original Publication Pkg Qty: 1 (English, Paper, 25534523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Helm made the originals for Buick. There is nothing on the manual that says "reproduction" I believe they call it a reproduction, otherwise you would be lead to believe it is NOS (new old stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBobP Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The 1990's are reproduction. The 1991's still seem to be original. They charge another $15 for shipping and handling. I paid $250 a couple of years ago on e-Bay for a brand new portfolio still in the original plastic. The proceeds went to the Sloan Museum so it could be written off as a charitable donation. They're getting scarcer and scarcer with all the pieces intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawja Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I snapped-up a '91 for $75 (buy it now) a couple of years ago on eBay, also a brand new portfolio in the original plastic bag, the seller had no idea of the (then) value and no pictures on the auction.I rolled the dice, and it was perfect, though the batteries in the flashlight had seriously expired, a little cleanup of the internals brought it back to life.The reproduction manuals are basically bound photocopies of the originals, that is: correct in the dimensions of the original, but black & white.
