Triple Gold All Original 1981 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency

Here is a very special Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency. I have owned this car for 8 years now. I only saw one other triple gold Ninety Eight Regency and that was back in 81 when a neighbor of ours drove home in a new triple gold 98 Regency Diesel. I was just a kid at the time. however. I was so impressed with that car. We had Cadillacs then but I thought the Ninety Eights looked so much better. When our neighbor traded in that car about 5 years later for a Lincoln. I was still too young to drive but I wish I could have bought their Olds. From that point. I knew I wanted to find another triple gold Regency. I did not find one until 2007 when I bought this car. It's just like my neighbor's car except this car has the gas V8. not the diesel. This car has had a very easy life. It belonged to an 80 plus year old lady who kept the car inside. I bought it after she could no longer drive. Over the last 8 years. I drove the car to car shows and as my weekend toy. Now. with other things in life such as a family. a home. and work. I no longer have the time to use the Olds. After thinking it over for about a year. I am listing the car for sale. It needs a good home with another Olds fan like myself. The car is loaded with options including the rare fiber optics package. Less than 15% of these cars were ordered with this option. The triple gold was also a very rare color combo to be ordered with less than 10% ordered like this. I did some research on this car with the Oldsmobile History Center when I bought it. The car still has the original gold paint which still looks good. however. the top areas of the car are starting to fade with age. The original white painted pinstripes still look good. Parts of the rubber bumper fillers have cracked and came apart with age which is common on GM cars of this era. The fillers are being reproduced for around 100 a set. The body is solid. The vinyl top is still in good condition. The plush pillow interior is just beautiful and all original and has a very flashy pattern on the velour that was unique to the 81 model only. Nothing is ripped or worn out on the interior. Even the headliner is still good. The car runs and drives excellent. The ride is still smooth and quiet. The underbody of the car is solid. All the power options work including the original Stereo and Tape player. The power antenna still works. The car is not a showcar. however. it's a well kept unrestored original example. Most of these 98s are long gone and you would be hard pressed to find another original triple gold example. Again. I only found two in almost 35 years! You are welcome to come see and drive the car for yourself. You can bring your mechanic to inspect the car as well. The reserve is more than fair for this car. NOTE. Serious bidders only please. It takes time and money to run an auction. Ebay is not a game. If you bid and win. you bought the car. If you are new to Ebay or. if you have no positive feedback. please email me so I know you are a serious bidder. My feedback has always been 100% positive since I joined Ebay well over 12 years ago which says alot. If you have any questions at all. just ask. Thank you for your interest.

If anyone would like to see them. just send me an email and I will send you the photos. This car also had Scotchgard done as well as American Rustproofing done before the car was delivered new. The stickers are still on the windows. I can send those photos as well. Thank you for the interest and the questions on the Olds. On May-08-15 at 09:07:54 PDT. seller added the following information: The reserve has been lowered. The highest bidder may win the car. I really do not think you will find another Ninety Eight Regency quite like this one for any price. The winner should be very pleased with this car.
