1991 Buick Reatta Base Convertible 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Haughton, Louisiana, United States
|
This auction is for a 1991 Buick Reatta
convertible in mint condition. No
scratches, no dings. It only has 8,569
miles. It has new Michelin tires with
less than 500 miles on them. It has a
new Optima battery. The A/C has been
professionally converted to 134A refrigerant.
It comes with a custom car cover.
The original radio stopped working, so we replaced it with a GM factory
radio with CD player and equalizer. It
was a plug and play installation, so no wires were cut, and it sounds
awesome. As you can see from the
picture, the LED on the radio matches the other dash display perfectly. We’ll include the original non-working radio
in case you want to put it back to stock. The Buick Reatta
is a sport coupe designed by GM which was powered by a 3.8 liter V6. It was the
first car Buick advertised as a two-seater since the 1940 Buick model 46. It
was a handmade luxury sports coupe produced at the Lansing Craft Centre in
Lansing, Michigan and sold by the Buick division of American automaker General
Motors from early 1988 to 1991. Like the Cadillac Allant?, it was based on a
shortened version of the GM E platform used by the Cadillac Eldorado,
Oldsmobile Toronado and particularly the Buick Riviera, with which it shared
many mechanical parts, advanced electronics, and interior furnishings. The Reatta sported its own unique body style and was crafted with an attention to hand finishing uncommon for a mass-produced automobile. The assembly was performed at a small series of craft stations - each with a specialized team of workers, rather than a conventional assembly line. After a team had completed their portion of the assembly, the car would be moved by robots to the next station in the series. All of the paintwork was subcontracted to PPG Industries personnel - who performed the work on site. Every Reatta included a leather book containing the owner's manual and pen. In 1990 and 1991, a zippered owner’s folio was included. In addition to the owner’s manual, it also contained a "Craftsman's Log" with the signatures of the supervisors for the assembly of the car at the various craft stations.These slightly unusual items were an attempt to sell the mass-produced car as one built with individual care. This auction includes this owner’s folio. Also included is the original window sticker and a brochure for 1991 Buick cars and a CD about the Buick Reatta. This car was 1 of only 305 convertibles manufactured during the last year of production for the Reatta. This car comes from a smoke-free home and has been kept covered, in a garage. In my honest opinion, this car would satisfy any collector or someone looking for a new car. This car is being sold, as is, without a warranty. Shipping (both arranging and cost) is the responsibility of the Buyer. Local pickup is available. Upon completion of the auction, a deposit of $500 is due within 2 business days. Remainder of the purchase price is due within 7 days from close of auction. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact us. |

Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again
Tue, Jan 27 2015While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
