Hello

[tbenvie]

Hello everyone-I haven't posted for awhile as I sold all my reatta stuff awhile ago and dxecided to just do what I have always doen-68-70 AMC AMXs (which have remarkable similarities to the Reatta). I went to look at a wrecked 68 AMX today at a tow lot (which I bought) and they also had a Reatta headed to the junkyard-has a broken right vent and mirror, bad touch screen, no start, ripped seat, bad headliner. paid all of $200 for it and fixed the touchscreen and it runs great. I'm going to give it to my niece to drive. I thought I saw somewhere that someone was reproducing vent windows. Is this true? Any info?<P>T^he car is as follows for the database:<P>88 red tan suede interior, black moldings, VIN # 1g4ec11c9jb900280.<P>I have owned a ton of collector cars over the last 25 years (I used to teach auto shop so I had 50 kids a day to work on my cars)and besides the AMX my other 2 favorites is the 74-7 Bricklin and the Reatta. Just awesome cars!<P>Tom Benvie<BR>East Bridgewater, Mass.

Whatever happened to the polycarbonate vent windows that the glass company in Oregon was making. Check the past posts for this string. I don't remember the name of the glass company, but the contact person's name was Tammy. <P>Also, Speedway Automotive in Phoenix Arizona mentioned that they were looking into making these vent windows in glass. There has been a lot of discussion about the high prices they charge, but they are very reliable and have a good inventory. As they say, "You wants to play the game, you pays your money!"<P>Don't give up on the vent window yet. There are a lot of options to get you back and running.
