Bushwack Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I don't know anymore about this car then what you do (once you click on the link) other than it is #3 of 60 (I'd like to think I own #1 & #2).35th Annual New England Auto AuctionOften I see good conditioned cars at these kind of auctions sell for very little. Might be worth inquiring for the serious buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 68vwdubb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hey Bushwack! Nice lookin ride you found! Is that silver or is that actually slate gray? Not a bad looking vert, but I'd have to replace that awful colored top! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi,I am considering making a trip to his auction. I thought I might pick the brains of some of you forum regulars. Regarding the paint, it is hard to tell from the photos, but this looks like it might be a repaint in non-Reatta grey. Does anyone have any comments on that? Thanks.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.JohnColor might be slate gray (offered for a 1990 MY). Those pictures are good but no great. I can tell you from the 2 sliver convertibles I own that the original paint, if maintained, can look showroom fresh 22 years later. If you go to the auction, I think you have a great chance of picking up a bargain (assuming the car drives as well as it looks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks Bushwack.Having never owned, but always admired Reattas, I was curious and this one is at auction fairly close and we all love a bargin. I am trying to find a bit of history. I note the pillars seem a different color but so does the photo of yours. I guess I always thought they were body color, but this may just be the reflection and angle that appears differnt. Again, thanks for your help.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
