My Reatta Drives: - Excellent - this is a brand new 21 year old car.

I am the SECOND owner of this Reatta. I have the original owner name and number to maintain history lineage.

I have owned this Reatta for 2 Years and 9 Months. I bought in Sept. of 2008

I am selling this beautiful car because I need to downsize my collection ( I have 2 other driven antique cars). I also do not have the car trailer this car deserves to be carried around on. I have had to borrow a trailer for the few shows I did take it to - and can only do that so many times. We will drive it to the BCA National in Boston - we anticipate putting 1,300 miles on it for that trip. We are hoping to find someone who is looking for a "trailer queen" who can pamper this ULTRA LOW MILAGE car. You can see the car in Boston if you are interested - or come to Pittsburgh - I live 6 miles from airport and can pick you up.

Tom,

Looks like a beautiful car, and I agree that taking it to Boston is a fantastic way to get it in front of the buyers who will appreciate the low miles. However, I would use caution driving 1300 miles on 22 year old tires - this is extremely risky. You might want to look into a rental trailer and justify the cost as cheap insurance for the car and your lives.

NCReatta · June 20, 2011

It would probably be cheaper to buy a set of tires than to trailer it. Keep the originals, and include them with the car when you sell it though.

Very beautiful car.

I saw Tom's Reatta last summer when he had it at the BCA Great Lakes Regional in Columbus, OH - it is a truly gorgeous original survivor car. If someone is looking for a car like this, they shouldn't pass this one up.

Keith - thanks for the kind words regarding my Reatta!

48Rdmstr68Skylrk · June 25, 2011

guys - I found some more pictures from the day we bought the car - you will see the dashboard picture shows 6,865 miles, car now has 8,056 miles. Please overlook the cheesy floor mats - they were there to protect the real floor mats. I have since bought some carpeted floor mats to protect the real floor mats that protect the real carpet! Can't have too much protection - HA HA

Funny what winning the Senior Gold will do to a guy. We decided NOT to sell the Reatta, but rather sell our 1948 Roadmaster (my profile pic car) with additional disassembled parts car. Will post more later on the regular Buick board.
