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 would do whatever it took to fit in a 70.

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.
