You’re only original once. This “survivor” ’55 T-Bird might be getting older, but like fine wine, it only gets better with age.
Dan Ritzinger is loving this “survivor” T-Bird. He filled us in on this sweet Ford…
“This ‘bird is a ‘survivor’ that we purchased in Hermitage, TN. It is originally a California car. We upgraded the starting circuitry to 12-volt, replaced the 6-volt generator with an alternator, upgraded the distributor to electronic-pointless, and made other dependability related upgrades. It has the 292 4-barrel Y-block engine and automatic transmission, and both hard top and convertible top.”
