Title: Me (6'9") Tall + 67 El Camino = Fit????

Hi Jason,   I think you should be able to fit in an early El Camino with no problem.  I have a friend that is about 6'3" and he drives a 74 Vette.  Trust me when I say that's a tight fit!    I'm 5'9" and the first time I got in my Elco I tried to put my arm on the door and couldn't reach it without leaning over a bit.  The interiors are pretty big by modern standards in my opinion.    Just to be sure, before you buy anything, why not go to a car show and explain to the owner of an Elco what your situation is and maybe you could try one on and see how you fit?   cYa-   Herb Lumpp 66 El Camino     ----- Original Message ----- From: Morris, Jason To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 9:07 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Me (6'9") Tall + 67 El Camino = Fit???? I have decided to sell my 2000 F-150 and buy something that I would enjoy more.  I really want a 67 Chevelle but I need a truck, so I'm getting an El Camino (the best of both worlds) My question is would a person of my size (6'9") fit into an El Camino.  There aren't many 67's around here to try out.  I'm going to have to buy off the internet and want to know before I sell my truck.  I've driven a 67 chevelle and I fit into that.  Is the El Camino the same? Also would a bench seat give me more leg room then buckets? Thanks Jason M
