Hi all, just have a quick question, tried searching but came up with nothing. I'd like to get a foxbody 5.0 in the next week months, the problem is I'm a pretty big guy. I'm about 6' 4" or 6' 5" and 255~ lbs. I rode as a passenger in my friends 5.0 vert and it seemed alright, but is the steering wheel adjustable in any way? Or would I have to drive with my legs spread out to the sides of them? Also the pedals would be kind of close, not sure how it would be using a clutch, it'll be my first manual car so I'd have to get used to it, not sure if it'd be a good idea learning when my leg is sort of blocked by the steering wheel. I'm not sure if I'd be getting a coupe or vert, probably whichever seems to fit me better, if either do. Hoping someone is around my size and has one, so please just let me know. Thanks a lot.

 

An '89 might be right up your alley. Still had the tilt steering wheel, but also had mass air, unless airbags are your thing. I'm not 6'5", but if my 5'9" @$$ scoots the seat all the way back, I could no longer drive, so I think you should be fine there.

 

The 89-93 cars would definitely be the years to look for. Best bet is to test drive one. Just fyi, don't bother with the SN95- there's no head room for tall guys.

 

If you do have problems with the seat all the way back they do make seat track extensions.

just get the track extenders and stick with tilt wheel

 

I have no real problems fitting in my 89 GT w/ tilt wheel at 6'-6" and 270 lbs.
