Code Option Years Notes & factory source Confidence
Engines
LN3 Engine, 3.8 L V6, Buick 1988–1990
the only engine for those years; Wikipedia's infobox gives the LN3 for 1988–1990 and the Reatta Owners Journal prints "LN3 - 3.8 engine" on its Reatta service-code list (two sources agree on the code; Wikipedia dates every year); no Buick or Chevrolet factory page for the Reatta is in the archive
Confirmed
L27 Engine, 3.8 L V6, Buick 3800 1991
Wikipedia's infobox and text give the L27 for 1991, replacing the LN3; the Reatta Owners Journal prints "L27 - 3800 engine" on its Reatta service-code list (two sources agree on the code; Wikipedia dates the year)
Confirmed
Transmissions
ME9 Transmission, automatic, 4 speed, THM 440-T4 1988–1989
the Reatta Owners Journal prints "ME9 - Transmission, auto 4 speed THM440 T4" without a year; Wikipedia's infobox names the 440-T4 for 1988–1989 but prints no code, so the code is matched to the unit by meaning; no GM list in the archive prints ME9
Single-source
M13 Transmission, automatic, 4 speed, 4T60-E 1991
the Reatta Owners Journal prints "M13 - Transmission (only found on '91 cars)", the dating remark; Wikipedia's infobox gives the 4T60-E for 1991 but prints no code, so the unit match is by meaning
Single-source
Packages & Trims
X22 Select Sixty edition 1988
about 55 cars for Buick's top dealers, black with tan interior; Wikipedia gives the model designation X22 for the 1988 edition; the Reatta Owners Journal lists X22 only as "believed to be marketing code for 1988 Select Sixty"
Single-source
YP8 Package, merchandised, convertible 1990–1991
matched to the convertible by meaning: the Reatta Owners Journal prints "YP8 - Merchandised pkg, convertible" without a year, and Wikipedia gives the convertible for 1990 and 1991 but prints no code
Single-source
Equipment
AJ3 Restraint, inflatable, driver 1990

Single-source

the Reatta Owners Journal prints CO5 (letter O) without a year; GM's service lists print C05 with the same wording; Wikipedia gives the convertible for 1990 and 1991
Single-source
CA1 Sunroof 1988
Wikipedia: a sunroof became optional in late 1988; the Reatta Owners Journal prints "CA1 - Sunroof" without a year; no later year is dated by a source read
