Its always possible if you want it bad enough. The current POCA President Mark McWhinney is 6"4 and 230 lbs with a long torso.... and he drives his Pantera to 'Vegas from N California each year (500 miles 1 way) for Fun Rallies and track events. He didn't fit either- so he completely removed the driver's seat and had two thin upholstered pads made that VELCRO to the floor mat and the firewall! He also drives stocking-footed. Another owner with exceptionally long legs made a 2" thick spacer that fits beweeen the front firewall and the brake/clutch/gas pedal plate, pushing them further into the trunk for more leg room. But the most dedicated owner I know is my friend Ron in WA state who is paralyzed from the waist down. His Pantera has motorcycle controls with a vacuum-power clutch to match the power brake, which he did himself since no shop wanted the liability for doing such a mod to a 150-mph sports car. He was honored at a recent Seattle car show when he drove his Pantera onto the dais. I've since found another paralyzed Pantera owner in So-Cal but haven't seen how he did his conversion.
