Well I had a buyer in San Fran, and now I don't. I'm having second thoughts anyway. My biggest problem is fitting in this car (I'm 6' 5"). I may drop the floor-pan and keep it. Haven't decided yet. Sat in a Diablo Saturday -- no fit (not even close!). Sat in a 2001 Lotus Esprit -- fit a little better than Pantera. Drove a 2000 Viper GTS -- fit but eye level even with top of windshield. Sat in a Ferrari 360 Modena -- fit quite nicely. Ferrari dealer wasn't too smitten with my idea of an exhange. Go figure...

Any interested parties drop me a line: davidenbow@yahoo.com

Juce dude, just keep that nice blue Pantera, get rid of the seat rails entirely and move the seat all the way back and bolt the seat directly to the floor. I got my black 5S from a tall dude where he had done that, but of course I had to fix it for midget me. Also I believe you can alter the pedals which I am told someone did on my red 5S (I still have to look at that to see if it is so).
As Jan says it's pretty easy to modify for yoru height;

Pedal spacers are available that will move the pedal box forward up to about 2". Seats can be bolted directly to the floor. Then there's the drop floor pans up to another 3"

I'm 6' 1" and with no more than a Corvette seat bolted directly to the floor I can wear a helmet in the car, so 6' 5" can be done, of course a lot dependds whether you have a long torso or long legs.
