That is why at Classic Cars Online, ur listings will go over and show every area of the vehicle that is up for  auction. Body & Paint: This is a Ninety-Eight Regency hardtop sedan. We would call this color a "Dark Charcoal Metallic". It looks great on this vehicle. The condition on the paint is  excellent with a deep shine without any orange peel. There are no dings, cratches, hecking, ading, r chips. The vinyl top color is a silver/gray that looks  gorgeous along with this paint color. (Great color combination.) The vinyl top is in excellent condition as well with no defects or other problems. As you can see from  the photos, he front header section was updated with a 1975 Regency panel. Swapping the header panel section gives this vehicle a newer look with the rectangle  headlights and better looking grille assemblies. All of the body weather stripping is in good condition.
Chrome & Trim: All of the chrome pieces are nice and bright in great condition. They do not have any scratches, ulling or pitting.  The rubber strips and guards on the chrome bumpers are in excellent shape.   The stainless steel trim pieces are also very nice without and dings or scratches. The correct factory emblems are all great. The gray body side molding isn't factory correct, ut it looks good and is keeping any door dings off the vehicle. A clear plastic bug shield was added to the front. (Could be removed if someone wants.) 
Interior: Inside the vehicle is a burgundy velour upholstery. This plush Regency interior is in great shape. It was completely redone when the vehicle was restored. There are no  signs of wear, ading, r marks on the seats. It's like seating on your living room sofa. The instrument panel, ash pad, oor panels, eadliner, nd carpet are all  great with no wear, racks or fading. Split front seat with power adjust on both seats, ilt/telescoping steering wheel, ruise control, nd air conditioning. (It may  need a quick recharge.) AM/FM Stereo, ear defogger and twilight sentinel lights are a few other options this vehicle has. Plush burgundy floor mats are included.
Engine Compartment: The engine compartment is very clean and highly detailed. It still retains its factory stock look with a few added chrome items. We are not sure when and what was done  to this Olds 455 Cu. In. Rocket engine, ut it starts and runs great. Everything is working correctly with no known problems. The owner always kept up with the correct  maintenance and changing of the fluids. A new battery was installed since the photos were taken on July 6th. The owner would drive this car out of state to national car events so items like the belts and hoses are all in good shape. This vehicle can be driven anywhere. The vehicle does have power brakes and power steering.
Trunk Compartment: Show ready. Original looking. Perfect condition with all the original items. The trunk carpeting is like new without any stains or wear. The spare tire along with the  jack and jacking tools are all in their correct places. The trunk has a power trunk release.
Glass: All of the tinted glass pieces look to be original. There are no cracks, hips or scratches. The four power windows are all working without any problems. The rear  window has a rear defroster. 
Wheels & Tires: These photos were taken earlier in the week before a brand new set of white wall tires where installed. (The owner had purchased six tires. The two extra tires will go  along with the sale.) These new radial tires have a little thinner white wall, About 1.25" wide.) from the ones shown in the photos.  The tire size is: P235/75R15.  These tires are mounted on the stock steel rims with the Oldsmobile spoke hubcaps. The hubcaps are all in very nice condition without any curb scratches or dings. The vehicle tracks straight and doesn't pull or vibrate. 
Undercarriage: As you view the several photos of the undercarriage in the gallery below, ou will see that this vehicle is rust free and very clean. (Some dirt/mud was splashed up on  the bottom when it was being driven over to take the photos. This will clean up with a quick rinse with water.) The car has a dual exhaust system with stock mufflers  and resonators.
Nine times out of ten, eople selling a car would not talk about or take any photos of the underside. The undercarriage tells you a lot about the  car, hat is why there are a few pictures of the bottom in the photo gallery. Please view them all.

and paperwork will go along with the sale of the vehicle.
