This car is 95% original and nearly an unmolested complete piece of automotive history! I have the original Owner's Protection Plan booklet with ID plate still inside, the original owner's manual, and receipts and documentation supporting that the mileage is only at 114,551 and showing there was over $6,500 in repairs made from 2004 up until now! Mechanically this car is in great shape. Only 700 miles since a full tune up was performed on the numbers matching 430 cu in engine that does not smoke or burn any oil.

Parts I have acquired since buying the car include: one full set of fender skirts plus an additional one for the passenger side, a year correct am/fm radio (the car was ordered without one), and a spare set of front aluminum drums.

The car is equipped with the TH400 automatic transmission, PW/PB/PS/AC/Power bench seat, functional cornering lamps, and optional shoulder harnesses. All lights and electrical work, the AC requires a recharge, upholstery needs work, there is some body damage, but corrosion is minimal (surface) to non-existent. The floors, trunk, rocker panels and quarters are solid. All the stainless trim and chrome are present and in good shape. The fuel gage reading is suspect and will probably require a new float level switch. This is a great opportunity to get in at "ground level" on a true classic and is considered a driving/restore project. New in 1968, these cars sold for just over $4,000 and the value of them fully restored is $8,000 and up and with more vanishing each day, the prices will only climb. I will consider offers around my asking price by serious buyers. It pains me to have to part ways with this beauty. Will not part out, so don't ask and the parts I have are for this car.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta

Thu, Feb 18 2016

The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:
