1982 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham Diesel. This rare car was acquired from the estate of the original owner in upstate Michigan. It has been loved, garaged, and pampered it's whole life and it shows. Don't let the 'bad reputation' that these diesel cars had, scare you. By 1982 most of the major design flaws had been corrected by trial and error. But for the public, the damage to its reputation had been done. This car's diesel power plant has obviously been treated well and properly maintained over the years. And it gets close to 30 mpg. I have performed a fresh lube/oil/filter, including a new air filter and a new fuel filter/water separator. The transmission fluid has been recently changed and it shifts smoothly. The antifreeze is still crystal clear, and I have been driving it all summer. The interior is in relatively good shape. It has also been detailed. All of the power windows work including the rare factory Astro-roof. This car also has the optional Am/Fm cassette /CB Radio. I suppose if I remembered how to operate a CB, it would work. The radio and cassette work fine though. I have the owners manual, and the CB radio owners manual. All of the A/C system is present with exception of the belt, not sure if it works.The car is finished in Slate Gray inside and out, and has been recently waxed. It is gorgeous! The tires are in really good shape as well as all 4 spoke wheel covers. This car seems to meet all the criteria to be classified as a super rare collectible, as it is essentially from the original owner/original interior,original vinyl top and paint/ original diesel engine. Not to mention the fine condition it is in after all of these years. This car is not for the faint of heart, it requires a careful stewardship to remain in such wonderful mechanical condition. Serious buyers only please.
