Default How Wide Do The Doors Open?
I am planning for my soon to be delivered lift. My car is currently jammed in and I can't open the doors all the way, can someone measure theirs for me?

My '73 is roughly 11' 7" from the outermost of one open door to the other.

I found a PDF file for the 76’, a GM Specification Document. It shows the width, ‘Max Front Door Open’ at 136.5 inches.

So that comes out to be 11ft-4.5 inches. DC3 called it!!
