I'm 6'2" and have removed the seat back bolt/plate in my 67. Granted I'm not as tall but I also have PLENTY of headroom with the seat leaned back more then normal.

 

I'm 6'4 and fit in my 67 fine until I replaced the seat foam, then my head touched the headliner.

 

How long ago and did it come down any with use. I was just wondering if i need to wait another 40 years

 

I did it sometime last year and I don't remember it every going down any.

 

bummer - I had to lower the pan - I put fatmat all over the car - can't remember if I put over seat pan or not. Oh well next winters project. thanks

 

bummer - I hate to lower the pan - I put fatmat all over the car - can't remember if I put over seat pan or not. Not a big deal but don't feel like dealing with now - Next winters project. Got spoiled with electic seats on 07 GT. Next project I'm upgrading to adjustables.

thanks

 

sry for a late reply. Like i said, i fit fine in the car - i do get in awkwardly because of my height, haha

I did replace the steering wheel to 15in so that gave me some more room. The seat is all of the way back, i havent done anything to it, unless the owner before me did something to it. The seat is out now, i might look at it to see maybe if i could modify the track so it could back an inch

 

no need to worry about head room in a convertible, just bug splatter on your forehead depending on how straight up you sit in the seat.

Insurance is a joke in a classic. Get historic tags and classic car insurance.... can you say $300 easily a year... That's at least how much I was paying when I was 16 and that was back in 2000. I now pay $76 for a full year and $15k in coverage.

 

why would he need historic tags, wouldnt that limit him more from driving it? I have a Vanity tag and insurance through Grundy. However with Grundy and Hagerty, the classic mustang CANT be your daily Driver, you must show proof or something that you have a DD. At least that is how Grundy works

 

We just installed our one piece headliner in a 67 coupe and gained the customer 2 1/2 inches, then since we were replacing the floor we went with the 69-70 and gained him another 1 1/2 plus we moved the seat risers back another 2 inches.
