B Jake Moran Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I have a fully signed Craftsman log/owners manual, etc for FREE if you or anyone needs it. I found a good looking switch for lights, I believe it's 1990. Remember those NOS perfect center caps someone offered a few months back? I have a set of four of those. FREE or donation. See light switch FREE or donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I've been informed the switch is from a Riviera. My apologies. I can't remember where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The headlight switch is correct for a 1991......they had the twilight sentinel (also fits Riviera thru 1993) The correct switch for a 1990 is a one year only because it has the fog light switch at the bottom instead of the twilight sentinel. Those "R" hub cap emblems look like some I sold........that is the way I packaged them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are light and would fit in a small box. Craftsman Log is spoken for. I found 2 other light switches and the instrument "panel" for the 88 parts car.

Y-JobFan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Out of curiosity, how did the 91's foglights get turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lighted horizontal toggle switch (left for "off" right for "on" ) located in the center of the console just north of the selector shift (right in front of the shift in the "Park" position). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 I later realized I had 2 more complete Craftsman Logs with Pens etc, I just threw them out. Threw out all service manuals, 2 1988, 1 1989, 2 1990 and a NOS 1991. Made the trash kind of heavy. My recycle was already full. I still have those NOS wheel centers, threw out 6 NOS caps purchased for $250, and 2 NOS door panels in tan. Hated to do that, OK not really, but was not willing to throw them in with the sale of the last 2 Reattas for $500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigR Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I would love to get my hands on one of the craftsmans logs - are there any still available? BigR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Not much going on here. Maybe try a new thread asking for one. Of course eBay, maybe Bugle wanted ad. I would think Jim would have a few since he parted out so many over the years. I had a total of 7 Reattas over the years. 5 of them had these still with them and I got another 3 out of junkyard cars. The most important one was the one in Reatta #105 which had the pen and all of those original signatures. New buyer of the earliest Reatta in existence did not want it. I threw it away. No one wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilnut13 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) I'm totally interested in the craftsman's book and owners manual, I will be willing to pay if you'd like. krswick13@gmail.com Edited May 5, 2022 by lilnut13 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakesReatta Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 What a shame to hear about the loss of those craftsman's books and owners manuals. I have a craftsman's log but I think mine is just a copy and not actually signed individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 They were offered for free with no takers. Others on here offered them for sale for as much as $150, some sold some did not. I had a lot of parts and as far as I was concerned, they were parts. I did send some parts to Ronnie that I forgot to throw away. I had 7 service manuals I threw away. I had a hand signed Reatta brochure with #105, threw it away. Signed by a guy named Mertz or such if I remember. #105 is / was very historical, a Red and Beechwood coupe with a few early differences. It was put on ebay for several weeks but garnered little interest. I threw it on local Craigslist and got $500 for it, plus a parts car from Colorado that I had purchased to support the restoration. The earliest known Reatta except the prototype convertible is still local in Des Moines, Iowa / Polk County. Languishing. If it was an early muscle car like a 67 Camaro, Barracuda, Corvette, almost anything else - it would be snatched up at a premium. Therefore, the literature is worthless.

I was off this forum for a while due to health issues. I guess I missed this thread or misread that you were offering the other parts. I would have been grateful to get them.

BlakesReatta Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I realize your predicament. I didn't get a Reatta until February of 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Just my opinion which some don’t share - but Reattas are simply great drivers that are not expensive. That’s why I got into them. I recently looked into getting a C4 Corvette, the 1984-1996 cars. You can get one for $10,000 coupe / $12,500 convertible. Mileage 15,000 to 45,000 miles. Bargain. But few will be truly collected. We have seen some low mileage Reatta convertible’s go for as much as $18,000. But that’s a gamble. Would it not be better to get the well sorted, well cared for 75,000 mile convertible for $8,000 or less and just enjoy the heck out of it? Or the $4,000 coupe with 80,000 miles. Or less miles.

BlakesReatta Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I think that depends on how you want to use the car. Low mileage for car shows and special occasions. I wouldn't drive an expensive one a lot. Less money for one you want to daily drive or enjoy more regularly. There are some real bargains out there if you can do some work yourself. I paid $7,000 for my 1990 convertible with 65,000 miles on it a year ago. I've only put two thousand miles on it since. I've changed oil, flushed radiator, and changed transmission fluid in it. I'm about to put a new compressor on it and flush brake fluid this month. Even a show car will have things that have to be fixed due to aging parts. Prices have gone up. This year it seems like people want a lot more money for Reattas than last year, especially the ones that aren't in pristine or good acceptable condition.

B Jake Moran Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 You bought “perfectly” at $7k with that mileage. Yes there is always maintenance. 2,000 miles a year is about what I put on my drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
