Gunmetal Grey/Blue

[NCReatta]

Anybody ever seen one? I'm looking at a '91 Gunmetal grey with blue interior. Just thought it was an odd combo.

Could you please post a photo of the... "special" lets call it, Gunmetal grey with blue interior Reatta? I'm sure the people here on the AACA forum and ReattaOwner.com deal would like to see one.

Here's the only real good picture I have. it's a parts car.

all the pictures I have of the interior are close-ups of the door panels.

I may can get some more pictures tomorrow. But the interior is clearly not grey. And the car is clearly not silver.

Feel free to post this picture on ReattaOwner.com

First time I've seen that combo (though that doesn't really mean much). The fact that it is gunmetal grey makes it semi-rare already, so I'd say this is a rather uncommon color combo. I have thought that gunmetal grey would look great with a burgundy interior, and suppose that maybe a few were built that way. Have yet to see one in pictures or in person.

For some reason, most silver and grey exterior cars had grey interior. Those exterior colors have showed up with both red and blue interiors and until we get good documentation on all years, the total number made will not be known.

That info is available for 1988 and there were ......

Pewter Grey exterior with red interior = 15 Pewter Grey with blue interior = 1 , total Pewter grey = 116 ( 86% of the Pewter grey cars had grey interior)

Sterling Silver with red interior = 45 , Sterling Silver with blue interior = 21, 1 silver car was made with tan interior total Sterling Silver = 418

( 84% of the silver cars had grey interior)

Barney - to confirm, are you referring only to the 1988 MY?

The numbers in my note above are for 1988 only.

I did a little more research and found there were only 42 Grey coupes made in 1991. It appears you have discovered the only one made with blue interior (all others had grey). The vin should end in 901168 it will have black side molding and a factory CD player, no 16 way or sunroof.

The car was in NY in 2006 with 75,000 miles, it also appears to be a pinstripe delete car. Good find.

There were only 5 Grey convertibles made in 1991 and only one of them had blue interior (900349) all the rest had grey interior.

If you look at Compnine, it says there were 2 made in grey/blue...they may be counting both the coupe and convertible. Compnine also says this car has 21A (dark blue) pinstripe, not sure which is correct.

Very cool info, Barney. I'm pretty sure this is that car. Don't have he vin though.

Sad to report that it's still under 100k, but is minus an engine right now, and rusty as all get out. I ended up just buying the parts I needed off of it.

So looks like this rare 1 of 1 car is no more

The car in pic is not pinstripe delete - it does have black side molding but I think its just a silver Reatta - there is a bluish cast on it from the sky that may be causing the finish to appear grayish - and besides that the lighting is so poor where its sitting that its difficult to confirm. So I wouldn't write off #901168 just yet without a VIN confirmation.

Hate to point it out, but that is a New York State registration in the window and that looks like blue pin stripping to me. So maybe comp-nine was right.
