Nicolas - congratulations on your new car!!!
What a great Christmas present.
(you must have been a really good boy this year )
Hopefully Carl Heller here on the forum will see your post for parts request and help you out - he has about everything you can imagine (new and used). I have bought quite a few items from him and am very happy with my purchases. If not give him a shout - his forum name is partsetal
I noticed that there is a small bracket missing that should hold the transmission pressure valve. It bolts where the accelerator bracket is on the intake manifold. Should be fine without it and is probably plugged at the transmission. The accelerator return spring is in the wrong place and probably another small bracket missing that bolts on the carburetor stud - again - no big deal and just little things you can clean up as you go.
Here's a pic of the small spring bracket that I saw on the internet - thought I would post it.
Let us know when you get the car.
There a a bunch of great folks on the forum that will be glad help you out with your questions.
Nicolas congrats on the purchase of your TBird. Now you can enjoy the benefits of our knowledgeable birders on our site in restoring it to your standards. These people are good / experienced and have gone through many restorations. Please send many pixs during this process as we all like to see them
Since the photos show hubcaps that are not original, there is always a "slight" possibility that the rims could have been switched by a previous owner to 15". (?)
They look like 80's Oldsmobile wire hubcaps to me. They could be 15" as that's what I had on my Oldsmobile at the time but it's hard to tell by the pictures.
