Default Quick Measurement Needed

Anyone sitting near their vette that can take a quick measurement for me? I'm at work and need to try to settle an argument.

What is the inside dimention of the C-3 Corvette....from the pull handle on the drivers side to the pull handle on the pass side.

I have a co-worker that says a '66 Mustang is narrower inside than my C-3....need a quick measurement to check.

Thanks,

My 68 is 46" at it's narrowest point.

It's 46 1/2" between the grab bars.

I think yours will be less though.
