I am brand new to the forum but feel like I found the holy grail. Drove home last night a 1990 White convertible with Red interior. It is the car featured on Ryan Glick's Sinister performance site. It has an LN32 Series 3 Supercharged engine very very professionally done. The owner became very ill during the project and that combined with his weight prevented him from driving it. Still as a lifelong GM purveyor accomplished his Dream car with his favorite car and his favorite engine. Many other modifications and maintenance were done by Ryan while he had it. It had covered only 325 miles since it left his shop over several years. I drove it 200 miles home and it is a dream. The estimated 300hp at the crank now obviously wakes the car up but drives splendidly with a nice idle quality in normal driving . The work looks of very high quality and factory. Ahhh what the car was destined for. Will follow with more info but it is as seen on Sinister Performance/ GM tuner under customer's cars. Lots of little issues to attend to that seem common but I am a very happy man this morning.

Thank you all for the kind words! The car did clean up nice and I should probably admit to being inspired by Ronnie’s dip into detailing a year or two ago with the three step process and a buffer! Being old school (and feeling an old 60 years) I did everything by hand, starting with the clay bar and then compound, polish and wax. As others have mentioned, I’ve received compliments from strangers in parking lots this weekend and it is fun when someone tells me a Reatta story! PS this Reatta comes with the Bright Red interior... and 139,000 smiles err I mean miles darn autocorrect ?

Nice photos. Your Reatta is beautiful. The black top on the red car is my favorite color combo on a vert. I've never really wanted a vert but you car is making me start to want one.

I know the rain is annoying but it sort of makes the detailed car glow. Looks fantastic

No doubt washing and waxing that amazing convertible!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new car! I look forward to hearing more about it. We have a member here with a turbocharged Reatta who knows a lot about the 3800 engine. I'm sure you will get lots of help with any problems that pop up.

Update on "surprise snow/high winds" previously reported: Reatta in igloo still OK. Have 4 roof skylights...one decided to leak into the upstairs bedroom. The roof is only three and a half years old. Roofer who did the job botched the flashing but won't come to do repairs. Wife is giving his company some seriously negative Yelp flack! So a local guy re-flashed all four skylights for very reasonable price. No more leaks. Reatta in igloo still OK. Called a local tree guy that my son knows to chip up the blown down tree limbs. Called him yesterday afternoon and he came today!...Normally quick turnarounds with trades are a "never happening" thing! Guy said they were finished with a previous big job and off to the next big job. I was "fill in". The guy even cut off some limbs that were hanging close to my neighbor's garage roof. Were in at 10am and out by 10:30am. Even raked up some leaves/small stuff. Reatta in igloo still OK.
