@@sofadviolator I'm not totally sure on that . Overall nice reatta even if it is likely a restomod rather than a factory 3800 SC reatta . The hoods is overdone but otherwise I like it . 3800 SC is awesome. The other thing is the nitrous and water methanol injection, I got to admit I'm not fond of that but overall I like it .

Reminds me of a guy in the NW suburbs of Chicago that always takes his Lebaron to car shows and insists it’s a Maserati and flooded the car with Maserati emblems. It really is the Lebaron that was made with Maserati seats , dash etc but it’s still not a Maserati.

Even the host did not believe this guy. That is why he kept asking "from the factory". I don't mind that this guy wanted to supercharge his Reatta, but why lie about it. Maybe he is planning on selling it and would like to raise the value by saying it is a one of one. I hate to be the one to tell him, but he will never get the amount of money back that he put into this car.

I remember hearing about this one off legendary car, that a Buick executive commissioned, years ago. Except the rice rice baby spoiler, fake vents that don't vent, and the AutoZone - engine blown - power gone, should've left it alone, nitrous for numbskulls kit, which makes this sound like some teenagers far 2 Fast 2 Furious 2Funny Honda Civic (all of it being pretty ghastly, completely rediculous, and a reason people will laugh at the car, despite it's rarity) thats dim, cheap, and ugly underbody LED lighting kit broke. Well, that and the double license plates (we can already see the 20 extra badges, we know what it is already, damn!), the extra badges, those ghastly chrome rims that give off a "broke project boy on a minimum/ or welfare wage, stereotype first custom car that he took too far" - vibe that I'm not sure even senile centinials wouldn't see as some comedic parody of a saggy pants youth's beater bucket plastered in poor taste because 'what ev dude" (to tell you the truth, even they most likely wouldn't even like, nor respect this abominable, custom looks by a lunatic creation, and would probably laugh endlessly at whoever was driving this, likely while trying not to show their face, despite this cars really cool history, I'm sad to say), all of which adds up to rediculous levels of crackpot on a crack pipe craziness.... Whoa, that was a lot to say... just wow, so sad... Lol, yeah despite all of that add on trash, it's very nice. Definitely something I'd be proud to own (after some type of emergency restoration of course), and would die with before I ever sold it. You've got the beginnings of a "Cars and coffee" show stopping, future classic, and hopefully one day this 5 legged 🐸 gets to become the 🤴 it was meant to be.

Absolutely not a factory car. I worked in GM during this time and I also still own a 1989 Red Reatta. There was talk among us of putting the Grand National GNX engine into the 1992 Reatta and making it a rear wheel drive car. However the brand was discontinued during the 1991 production year. The decision was made to keep the Allante and Fiero alive. Both those two models were also later killed off.

Not factory original. The reatta is original. I find NO articles relating to this one off supercharged reatta.

Where did he source the chrome parts under the hood?
Not sure.
Does It have Brembro brakes?
Not that I'm aware of.
The only thing that would make that Reatta cooler is is it all has the command screen

I remember hearing about this one off legendary car, that a Buick executive commissioned, years ago. Except the rice rice baby spoiler, fake vents that don't vent, and the AutoZone - engine blown - power gone, should've left it alone, nitrous for numbskulls kit, which makes this sound like some teenagers far 2 Fast 2 Furious 2Funny Honda Civic (all of it being pretty ghastly, completely rediculous, and a reason people will laugh at the car, despite it's rarity) thats dim, cheap, and ugly underbody LED lighting kit broke. Well, that and the double license plates (we can already see the 20 extra badges, we know what it is already, damn!), the extra badges, those ghastly chrome rims that give off a "broke project boy on a minimum/ or welfare wage, stereotype first custom car that he took too far" - vibe that I'm not sure even senile centinials wouldn't see as some comedic parody of a saggy pants youth's beater bucket plastered in poor taste because 'what ev dude" (to tell you the truth, even they most likely wouldn't even like, nor respect this abominable, custom looks by a lunatic creation, and would probably laugh endlessly at whoever was driving this, likely while trying not to show their face, despite this cars really cool history, I'm sad to say), all of which adds up to rediculous levels of crackpot on a crack pipe craziness.... Whoa, that was a lot to say... just wow, so sad... Lol, yeah despite all of that add on trash, it's very nice. Definitely something I'd be proud to own (after some type of emergency restoration of course), and would die with before I ever sold it. You've got the beginnings of a "Cars and coffee" show stopping, future classic, and hopefully one day this 5 legged 🐸 gets to become the 🤴 it was meant to be.

Absolutely not a factory car. I worked in GM during this time and I also still own a 1989 Red Reatta. There was talk among us of putting the Grand National GNX engine into the 1992 Reatta and making it a rear wheel drive car. However the brand was discontinued during the 1991 production year. The decision was made to keep the Allante and Fiero alive. Both those two models were also later killed off.
Hi Mike De Silva, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Needs more emblems.

Much prop to him. It looks amazing.
Glad you enjoy this one Edgar Garcia :-)
I just want to know what that rear spoiler came off of. Anyone know ?

I only believe about 41% of what that guy said. He might believe all of it but it is not true.c The guy he bought ti from told him all that bollocks and he ate it up hook like and sinker. If I had that it certainly would have been much more subdued. I do like the hood though.
41% is being generous!

HA!!! I guess some people don't grow out of lieing. for sorry for the kid that old man will eventually dump this 'executive 1 of 1 GSX' on. sad because reatta's are cool as they are already WITHOUT the alternative facts this guy is spewing.

Not bad other than the accessory and badging overkill. Dual license plates?? And I would prob put slightly larger wheels on it from a current GM or Buick product . Maybe some Regal GS wheels

I recently bought a Reatta myself. I’m no expert on all the factory options at the time… But this old timer is fibbing through his teeth claiming it’s originality. It’s a clever and creative build nevertheless 👍

No GM exec owned this car like this. This guy ruined this car. To Lou's credit, he humored him big time, which was classy.

Kind of embarrassing....NEVER was a Reatta GSX... NEVER from the factory.... this Reatta has lots of added cheap emblems BUT a nice supercharged 3800 at the end!

Hi Brian, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this RUclips Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
How many fricken Reatta and supercharged emblems do your need. It s just silly.
....appears as many as possible.
Lou...come on...some performance numbers would be great. Almost necessary with this "Buick," real or not. I've always loved the look of the Reatta, some power and appropriate, corresponding upgrades is what it needed badly, however. Never driven one but hear it was quite underpowered.

Good Lord with the badges. This was not a factory version Buick did. This guy is a bit full of himself. Neat car though minus the 158 badges on it. Sweet non functional hood louvers. 🤣😂🤣😂
