well I'm 6ft, and built like a NFL lineman 260lbs , never had a problem in the 66. However I'm alot more comfortable in my 62 after changing to a 15in steering wheel. Don't know what your on about!

6'4" 170lbs. I have to watch that my leg doesn't get stuck between the door pull and steering wheel when releasing the clutch. I've also yet to find a way to get in the car without hitting the high beam switch.
I love it.

For the record. I am 6'2 250lb 40in waist depending on how much I ate. I would prefer a slightly smaller wheel. Sometimes my knees hit the wheel at really bad times. I am thinking of going to the 68-72 wheel. Theres a guy on ebay who does a real nice leather wrapping job.

6'2" @ 275 lbs and no problems at all getting in, driving or getting out of my '66. From the days when I ran gymkhana events, I have the steering wheel pulled very close to me and it still presents no problem.

6' 3" and 220 pounds.
Getting the door closed on a C1 was impossible with a standard steering wheel so I went with a C2. I get in and out as easy as any other car. I find the seats and ride to be more comfortable than our other recent modern family vehicles (Chev Astro, Ford Explorer)

6'1"...240....(limp no shrinkage)....i do have a smaller steering wheel on my 66 but the fit is perfect with the seat back and was good also with the stock wheel.....
my friend has a 77 and that is a challenge especially when shifting, the damn remote for the mirror hits my knee...

I don't find mid years cramped or confining at all. I'm 6'1' 225 lbs. Solid axles and C3's are far worse.

Wow, I think the forum could put together a football team as we have the height and beef...
No problems for me 6' 168 lbs. Our C6 Z is more of a challenge getting out of due to sitting so low. I watched this past year a somewhat larger and older person work like hell getting out of a C6.
