Im just too tall

Featured Replies

It is a crying shame, but I am just too tall. I went and looked at a very nice 1968 roadster in Eden, NC the other day. Took it for a test drive, but the car is just too small for me. My head was above the roll bar and the top would probably be too low for me, and my knees are all folded up. I really like the old roadsters but I really don’t fit comfortably. If any one is interested the car is nice with 2.0L, Mikuni’s, large oil pan, stage II cam, 5 point harnesses, crane ign, good paint, well taken care of. He has owned it since like 77'. I put a link to the ebay ad I found it by. If you have trouble getting in touch with the owner PM me and I will get you in touch. He was very nice and Keith Hege met with me to look at the car also.

Oh well I guess I will have to make one of my rustier Z's into a roadster :cool:

I bet surgery could fix the issue with the legs. It might even fix the issue with the head, but you'd have to put up with people pointing at you can calling you flathead. :)

That would probably work good if I drove old Fords. Then I would be called an enthusiasts:D

Heh, we had an entry in a local car show that was an early 50's Ford V8 flat head. He titled the entry "Flat tops and flat heads". I thought it was clever.
