Really depends. I am 6"4 and fit in ours with bucket seats. Bench seats gave me more room.

He fits better on the passenger side than on the driver's side. So that could be a problem.

I was back in the 70s with my perm and platform shoes.;)

And that leisure suit .
I'm 6-4 and I fit. But not a lot of extra room. I just finished with my interior. I had the driver seat set back 1 1/2 inches. It made the difference for me. Mine is an automatic so you can get in a good position. Not sure how comfortable is would be if you had to shift.

I think having a tilt wheel might help too. :)

sry i was talking about the drivers side and does the wheel tilt or could I take the wheel out and put a smaller one in, also I would be talking about an automatic.

I'm 6'3" and fit in my 70 perfectly, it does have a smaller than stock grant wheel in and it's non tilt but my knees aren't close to the wheel.

It was pretty tight in my jeep with the stock, 18" wheel in it. Swapped to a smaller grant and I have a fair amount of room now.
The misses would not let me put a newer wheel in the chevelle :(
