Default tall people and first gens

Im kind of pondering the idea of getting a 69 camaro, i think theyre one of the nicest looking cars ever made, the problem is, i know a lot of cars made back in the day werent designed with tall people in mind, and im 6'3". i certainly wouldnt want to be all cramped up while trying to enjoy the ride. so the question is, how well do tall people fit? and is there anything that can be done to add some room, ie smaller steering wheel, tilt column etc? thanks

Put on a tilt wheel and you should be just fine. And Yes 67's are the BEST!!

i,m 6'4" and own a 1968 camaro. i unbolted my seat and moved it back about two inches and i have plenty of room. if you don't want to move the seat i believe that you will be able to get a tilt steering wheel relatively easily.
