Mirror to mirror width

This might seem on odd question but I dont have my car handy and am trying to figure out if I will even be able to get it into my back yard.

I have a narrow 81" opening on the side of my house and would like to know the mirror to mirror width of a thirdgen before I tow it back home.
I would measure it myself but my car is about 50 miles away at the moment.

Any help?

The book says that my 86 TA is 72.4" wide,but I did measure and it's 77.5" from mirror to mirror.Hope you have T Tops to get out,because you ain't getting out the doors.

Well... my side and back yards are pretty decent sized.... I shouldnt need to get out while driving it into the backyard.. It's just the neighbors fence post and my house are unmovable... I may need a spotter just to be safe.

That's good you have a spot for it,be safe and get a spotter,that's going to be really tight.
