Are there any owners of the 65 Coupe in the DFW are willing to let me drop by and see if I can fit behind the wheel?

The gen 3 coupe is much roomier then the gen2, and from what I read fits most even with big shoe sizes.

I've heard the same, but those door openings are still gonna be hard tp get in and out of, I think.

Not going to be like a production car if that's what you are looking for. But then part of the fun is that it isn't a production car.
Quite a few tall guys in the gen 2 coupes too.

Yeah John, I'm 6'7", 230 lbs, size 13 feet. I tried on (and ordered) a Gen 3 coupe at Barrett-Jackson this winter.
I fit pretty well, but i am going to use a removable steering wheel to make it easier.
Getting in and out of the car seems to be an acquired skill.

There doesn't seem to be a way to make that look graceful! LOL
