A pretty rare find that I came across on my local CL
https://sandusky.craigslist.org/cto/d/clyde-sell-trade-1990-buick-reatta/7067664594.html
They didn't make many Reatta and they made even fewer convertible Reattas. Asking $5.5k w/ 119k isn't dirt cheap but its probably a pretty good value as a cheap way to get into the Car Show circuit. That could be standard American Iron car shows or it could be RadWood or C&C shows. This car would have a pretty wide appeal. At the same time, it is a pretty unknown model. Being 30 yrs old it qualifies for antique plates and in Ohio that means $30, one time, and never needs to be renewed. Other states might have similar.
I briefly considered the car for myself when seeing it but it's not the right thing at the right time for me. The town it's in is only 20 minutes away from me. I could look it over if someone is interested.

Reatta Wiki
This source says there were only 154 Blue Reatta Converibles made in 1990 and 459 blue coupes out of a total Reatta production number of 8514 for all coupes and convertibles.
The touch-screen CRT that some of them had in the dash was pretty awesome.
In retrospect it's too bad that we didn't just get a rebadged Lotus Elan, the M100, with a 3.8 in the nose instead of these things. Probably would have made too much sense.

In reply to Pete Gossett :
A few models of T-type buicks got those. I remember being amazed at it as a teen. The interface was pretty decent, but still clunky for stuff that even now, deserves a button. This does not appear to be a t-type.
The wheels look way off on that car. Clearly aftermarket or maybe the olds intrigue wheels. The oem ones were a distinctive convex dish kinda thing with 5 or 6 spokes iirc.
In reply to Nugi :
Definitely intrigue or aurora wheels.
Yes, Oldsmobile wheels but some Pontiac basket weaves like these would look good to me...
If you find a Grand Prix like the blue one i'm in. I need one for my ultimate challenge build
I sent it to my wife. She has a thing for these in blue.
In reply to Shadeux :
If your wife has a thing for white/red maybe this one in Pittsburgh is the deal...
77k asking $4k
