Anything worth grabbing off a Reatta we might see in a junkyard? Tail lights, interior or any other oddball parts that are drying up?

My cousin who lives in NC has a buddy that collects Reattas and salvage usable parts. Any Reatta part is only good to someone who owns another Reatta and needs parts. Those parts are not interchangeable to other GM cars as they were "hand" built with many ( at that time) innovative components. My cousin had three at one time and each one had their idiosyncrasies.

The tail lights with some rear trim went first, along with some front clip trim pieces. Still has body panels on it.

I have heard that the windshields are made of "unobtainium". If you can get it out without breaking it, it's probably worthwhile.

That's something I've never succeeded at doing. I always get impatient near the end.
