..if Bob Evans and I can fit in fine---for different reasons!----I wouldn't sweat it. There's a myriad of ways to tweak seats, etc. around. A friend of mine wasn't happy with his SPF's "severe offset" of the pedals---(it ain't severe, but he felt it was). Solution? Just unbolt the driver's seat and (after drilling new holes to the left) drop her in? As to people who don't (or haven't weighed 300# saying that you should abandon all hope---well who's doing the tellin'?) I am 5'11" and hover (is that the word?) around 292-5. I can get in an out of the Butler without a hitch. We big bears can be desceptively quick, too! My advice? Do a lot of riding and sitting. Look at a Lonestar--they're stretched and widened.
I know 3 SPF owners and every one is 6'2+" and two are hefty. No problems. One, in fact was the chap for whom I moved the seat. If you want and love these cars--you'll overlook the picky stuff. Listen to Bob Evans...
