Cool! Coupe or convertible? I always liked the looks of them but IIRC they weren't too great in the performance dept. Great engine though, and the touchscreen was certainly neat (so long as you don't have burn in). Should make for a stylish and comfy cruiser.

Coupe. I have 2 very good performing cars. This is just something fun to have until I sell it.

I don't seem to remember reattas being available in convertible form. Were they?

I wonder what mechanical differences existed between the supercharged (Pontiac SSEi and Buick Park Avenue Ultra) and unsupercharged versions of the 3800? IIRC, GM made some changes to the 3800 in '91 and '95, and I don't recall how far back the supercharger was offered.

I don't believe that Buick offered a supercharged Reatta, but it would make for one interesting vehicle.

boss of mine had that exact car, red and all. Spent over a year slowly fixing paint, was a nice setup, that touchscreen can be spendy though, and if it breaks, you could be in trouble. Probably never find another one, have to adapt something new

Rebuilt touch screens are being sold online for $200-$400.

Can you upgrade the touchscreen to Android 4.0?

Tom, there's a Reatta convertible on eBay.

Thank God it doesnt have a northstar.
But it is cool. I still like my 530i wagon better though.
I was reading this thread and you had told me anout the Reatta, but I was actually crossing my fingers during the first page of the thread, for a 1984 cadillac seville diesel.......lol
Talk about flops.....
