Need some help in Michigan

I need to see if I fit in a 3rd gen, preferably a 88-92 iroc/z28 with stock seats, and a hardtop. Reason being I'm 6'6" and my body does not flex like it use to, I had one 25 years ago. Had a 4th gen for the last 20 years , I'm ready for a change. I'm located in Clawson north of Detroit.

Thanks guys

Welcome aboard Steve.

If you don't get any takers before then, you ought to stop by the 2016 Meet & Greet.

Check out the thread titled 2016 Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show here in this section.

I'm sure someone will let you have a seat in their car.

Wow, I'm not sure. A couple of hundred anyway I'd guess. I'm lousy at estimating that sort of thing. Brian (Meissen) could tell you for sure. Certainly worth a trip to Baker's in Milford. There are some photos of last years event here (link on 2nd page is good for more photos).

Hi Steve - welcome to the site! We usually pull in at least 200 FBodies, if not more. All depends on the weather forecast.

I think he was looking for a 3rd gen count: Probably around 10-15, mostly Camaros.

Re: Need some help in Michigan

Guys thanks for all the input. I rolled with it, that I fit in my 4th gen ok. Drove 500 miles out in to New York to see if I fit. Ended up buying 1990 Iroc 5 speed car with 41,000 miles on it. Very happy.

Re: Need some help in Michigan

Hey Steve. I'm Rob. I'm fairly new here too. I'm in Newaygo, MI. About 45 min. north of Grand Rapids. I picked up my first third gen this past December. I'm lovin it!! I'm 6'4" so understand completely. I'm 44.7 years old. I've broken my back, had 2 disks replaced in my neck and am preparing for more neck surgery.
I love my Iroc. It's a 90. But if it wasn't a T- Top car, I wouldn't drive it much. Having the tops off makes it sooo much easier to get in and out. Not only does it allow me to not have to worry about getting low and squeezing in, but I have the front part of the roof to use as support both getting in and out. I'm not sure I'd be very happy with a hard top.

Re: Need some help in Michigan

I missed the post where you already got one. Very nice car!!! I still have to get some pics of mine on here. Been to busy working on her. It's been fun. I've learned a ton on this site. I need to figure out how to thank everyone!!! Some very smart, awesome, and helpful people here. I hope I can help people here some day.
Well, congrats on the beautiful Iroc. I'm sure you'll love it!!!
