FOR SALE - 1989 coupe with sun roof - ultra low mileage

[48Rdmstr68Skylrk]

Is your year end bonus burning a hole in your pocket? Buy a new Reatta! We decided to sell our ultra low milage 89 Reatta coupe with sun roof. Car has 10,614 miles and everything is original except for the headliner that was replaced due to the dreaded GM Droop, and the AC compressor was changed out when the AC was converted to R-134. We drove the car to the 2011 BCA National in Boston and earned 396 out of 400 points to win the Senior Gold. Then in 2012 drove the car to the BCA National in Charlotte where the car earned a perfect 400 score and the Senior Preservation Award. Car is located in Pittsburgh, PA and we are asking $12,500. Drop me a note here if you are interested. I can send many more photos

My Reatta Drives: (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor)

I am the 2^nd owner of this Reatta.

I have owned this Reatta for 5 Years and/or 3 Months. I purchased the car with 6,860 miles in Sept., 2008 and don’t really drive it much. The miles I put on it were mostly from driving to 2011 Boston BCA National where the car earned 396 out of 400 points. And drove to Charlotte 2012 BCA National where car earned a perfect 400 point score. Car sits covered in garage most of the time. It deserves to be a trailer queen and I don’t own a trailer or truck. It is really a museum quality original.

I forgot to say that I have a car cover, shop manual, sales book, history of Reatta book, and 1/24 scale model new in box that all come with the car.

[Guest my3buicks]

For anyone that has not seen this car - it is stunning - Possibly the finest original 89 out there.

[48Rdmstr68Skylrk]

Thanks Keith for the nice description of my Reatta. I would love to selll the car to someone who will keep the milleage low and trailer the car around. But that would be up to the new owner. I personally just can't run the miles up on it. I have even thought about placing it in a museum but not sure how to do that. Any suggestions?

[Guest my3buicks]

That was the ONLY reason I didn't buy yours Tom, I was looking for a Reatta I could drive and enjoy, and would've felt ultra guilty putting miles on that one.

[48Rdmstr68Skylrk]

The Reatta is still available. I forgot to include in my post that the Senior Gold Award comes with the car, along with copies of the 396 and 400 point judges forms. Since the weather is breaking, now would be a good time to look this car over.

[48Rdmstr68Skylrk]

Now is the time to buy this car to have it for the summer show season. We are open to reasonable offers.

[48Rdmstr68Skylrk]

PRICE REDUCED!!! due to pending family matters, I am forced to reduce the price of this fine car to $11,000 for a quick sale. You won't be sorry with this car. Had it out for a little drive the other day and the updated A/C worked great. car now has 10,630 miles.

I realized I didn't have a photo of the engine so here is one
