New to Reatta

[huskykicker]

Hey all you Boiler lovers,
I just last week picked up a 1990 Reatta convertible. One owner with 79k miles. Looks and runs like new. It was originally owned by one of the engineers that was involved with the design and development of the Reatta. This was his personal car. It is totally stock and original with the exception of the wheels. I think they are from a Riveria. Looking forward to warm weather so I can put the top down.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new car, good luck with it. Are you sure about the wheels, look at the link below, first diagram.

I really don't know what the wheels are from. I was told they were from a Riviera. Doesn't make any difference to me.....I like them.

Those wheels were an option on the 97/99 riviera and similar era park ave. Same as the 91 reatta wheels but crome. 1990 select 60s had those in white.

Awesome car! Does it not have the touch screen controls that some had, IIRC?

Are the pictures in Clarkston, looks like my neighborhood?

Gorgeous car. I was once tempted to buy a high mileage (probably 190k+ miles) but well maintained one that was for sale for a long time. I still think about that car, even was earlier today for some reason but if I recall it was white. I'm probably better off with what I have now. I think I was scared off at the thought of trying to source parts which is hard enough with the more common cars I do have, or maybe just generally the mileage of the car. I had even emailed with the owner. If it were closer I probably would have at least looked, though I went far further (a couple ferries) for the Regal.
