Directlift, worth every penny.
10' ceiling. acceptable clearance with either convertible mustang or cobra on top. Not sure if it would clear the garage door if the Mustang was a hardtop, though. Would have to have the door rails moved/modified. Have not tried it with the 500 under or over. too chicken!!!
Suburban lives outside, anyway.
Now I could actually put another one in, side by side, but it would be pretty tight. The first few times you drive under it, it is a little un-nerving, but certainly you get over it. It comes with two drip trays (I think) and I ordered two more. (well those old Fords do drip
)
I can switch cars within 5 minutes or so, with installing the drive up ramps taking a whole two minutes or so from where i store them and drag them to the lift. They are heavy, but I can handle it.
I am sure there are other brands, but Directlift is the only one I called.
The company i used (Derek Weaver out of Ft. Worth) was the distributor, and that company has an install company they recommend. Two guys came out, and for $400 they took slightly over two hours to assemble and install it. Again, worth every penny to me. I think 2-3 gear heads could do it, but it'd take hours, i'm sure.
good luck!
ps. I like how Jim Woodard has the cutout in his garage, but my boys room is over the garage/kitchen so i don't think they'd appreciate a 'bump' in their room.

edit to add: I think the 500 could go under the convert. pretty easily; the convertible makes the '65 really workable. The rollbar on the Cobra has about 5" clearance with the '65 underneath, so i don't think it would work over the 500. Maybe if i pulled it all the way forward. All scary options!!!
oh, another photo, different angle. Didn't touch the garage door or make any mods. Just had the lift installed and left it there.
you can see how close the rollbar is, but it's not too bad.
