Welcome to the forum Sara. You sound like a perfect wife!
Find some local Pantera owners to help you in your quest. There are specific things to look for and look out for when shoppping for a Pantera. You can find Pantera folk in Florida by soliciting their response here, also by joining POCA. Check their website for any chapters local to you.
Also, check out my "How to Buy" page for links to more info on purchasing a Pantera:

And YES! Your husband should fit in a Pantera just fine, although almost every car "fits" differently because of various changes their owners have made - seats (spacers removed or different altogether) and steering wheel being the two most significant changes to affect fit. And still others have dropped the floor pans to provide even more space.
