Default Small problem

Hey folks,

I am very interested in buying a C3, however I have a small problem. I'm 6'5" and about 250 lbs. I was told a C3 with glass tops and tele/tilt steering is the best fit for me. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm fairly handy so something that needs a lil work is not a problem.

Thanks,
Keef

Or a Vert...but you can only drive it when it's not raining. A friend of mine is 6'7" and he barely fits in the passenger seat in my '75. I guess back in the day, we were all alot smaller.....
