Welcome Chris !
I would take your time buying/building a Cobra. Too many people, get too excited and end up with a car their not happy with. At this time, I don't think a man of your height of 6'6", will fit in a original 90" wheel base Cobra but,....
please continue researching. I have a "Lone Star Classic" (LSC) Cobra that is a 94" car with a 4" dropped floor pan. I, being 5'9", can not touch the fire wall. I have had a few men that were 6'4" sit in my car, and tilted my steering column up and one said, "I think this is do-able", with a huge smile of excitement.
One manufacture called "Street Beast's, is a almost limousine Cobra, at 98" wheel base but, I know nothing about them except,......a new post here on CC about their problems with this company. You might look it up.

I can say that Brian, the new owner of LSC is doing a great job with some details that needed some attention. I really like my Cobra from them. The frame is very stout and believe it's one of the best 2x4 box ladder style frames out there. The body is also very strong and pretty damn close to the original, although it being 4" longer in the cockpit. You really can't tell unless a 90" car is next to you, or if a knowledgeable owner looks at it. Myself, I defiantly would not go any longer than 94". I would say to you, that if the "Street Beast" is the only car you can fit in, at the very least, you would have a COBRA ! Their is nothing,......like a Cobra.
As Brian can attest to, I'm very picky and critical about quality. I would have no problem with buying another LSC Cobra. For the price, you get a very full kit of parts, options, and with some detailing, a great when completed Cobra.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me. I'll help you out as much as I can. In fact, anyone here on CC will do the same. We have a great group of Cobra people.
