I had a GT6, plenty of room in that car for 6'+ driver...

talkin bout the 1st gen '68 - 73 (I think) & Yes! big for a 4 cyl 'sports car'
I had the Fiats (1200, 1600, 124, 850, & 126) then (tight 4 me @ 5'10") & this wuz much more roomier

(R U postin bout 2nd gen like the "Sky"?)



Unfortunatly I am a very poor writer unless taking my time and spelling out everything. I got excited & responded 'off the cuff' & was not understandable. I was inquiring to Mr. "OPEL" if the 200 motor was easy to insert into the engine bay of his car. We usta call those things the 'shrunken vett'. The saab sonnet was also around & interesting. (Today I saw a saab outfitted w/an entire subaru drive train OEM !).
