Default Carcoon size for 1971 C3

Hi!

I am looking at a Carcoon (www.carcoon.com) for my 1971 C3. When I enter my car as a Chevy Corvette it says size 4 should fit. But a 1971 C3 is 4,63 meter long and the size 4 Carcoon is 4,7 meters long. So will it fit with only 7 cm to spare?
Do any of you have experience with a Carcoon?
I would prefer not to go up a size due space constrians in the driveway. But of course the car should be able to fit in the Carcoon.

Hi DJS,
Welcome!
First Post!!
If you have the space (length) in your garage I think having some extra length is good.

This one is about 15+ years old.

Thanks Alan!
I am looking at the outdoor one as I don't have a garage. Space is limited in my driveway, so I think I will go with the size 4.
