How big are you?

[jube455]

Looking around and test driving C3's has made me more aware of having to shed a few pounds. Tonight I tried to test drive another '76 that didnt have tilt steering, and I couldnt lift my leg to put my foot on the clutch. It's too bad because the car is absolutely gorgeous and in amazing shape. If I bought it I would have to change the column out.
How well do you C3-ers fir in your car?
And shame on you if you thought I was getting cheeky with the title!

5' 11" and about 205 g or t.


Thank God for T & T.

drove a C3 for years and had no problem with the clutch peddle but I did install t&t, lots of them to be had for under $400. I'm 6ft 250lbs, now C4's that's a whole other thing, had to be a contortionist to get in and out of my '93!

5'7" and about 165lb. No tilt and tele in my '75 and it's an automatic. I have no problem at all and actually like the wheel right where it is. If you're having trouble fitting you should look at a '77 and up as they shortened the column by 2 inches in '77 for that reason.

6'2" and no T & T and Auto. Also no headliners, my head would rub if I had them. May swap to manual during the rebuild but may also look for a T & T column. I am actually amazed at how big of a person can fit considering the size of the car.
