Based on a European site the have determined the 61-63
Thunderbirds.
Have headroom of 37 and legroom of 39.6
Can this be verified? In my Allante the headroom in 38 and my heads at the ceiling.
I’m wondering if seat can be lowered, reclined. Or put on custom base.
Per Cliff’s great hack. I’ll have my mechanic Chuck Mill of Chux move the seat back 3”
I’m 6’-7”. Luckily I have shorter legs.

Your signature says you own a 63 convertible.
Have you sat in it?

Re: Headroom and legroom for 63 Convertible
I sat in one. But I was too close. :(
My head hit the top of windshield. And my guy hit the steering wheel.
The power seat wasn’t working
From Cliff’s mod moving seat back with straps will help. I also bought a smaller and flatter steering wheel.
Strange. That for a car with such a big door. The end of door isn’t same as location of front seat.
Then again - didn’t have guys my size.
