A Luxury Sedan VIN will start out with 3V39 (so will a Regency, because it was just an option package in '72). A base 98 sedan will start out with 3U39.
The 8th digit in the VIN being the engine code only applies to newer vehicles. Your engine code should be the 5th digit and should be a U, which is a 455 with automatic. I'm pretty sure all 98s came with 455s. You've got a blue engine, which indicates to me that it is a 455.

the VIN number does start with 3V39 like you said... whats the differences with "luxery sedan" and regency?
the fifth character is a "T" (???) what does this mean???
it said regency on the title (guess that doesnt mean much though)
