    They have quite a few taller customers. I understand that Bob Evans was over 7 feet.
    Unique can tell you how they fit in their cars and what modifications were made.

    Height is not the only measure applicable to customer fit in any Cobra. I am 6'2, 210 pounds and am quite comfortable in my UNIQUE FIA car. With a notched dash, dropped floor board and new extended foot boxes, I would think you should fit fine. I know several owners who are taller than I, and I have heard no complaints.

    They extended the footboxes on the production cars, both 289 and 427, in the fall of 2009, with the first one going out of the factory in January of 2010... I was told. (I believe I have that first one) I've sat in both versions, and there is a noticeable difference.

    Give them a call... they'll hook you up. They are incredible fabricators, and can surely accomodate your specific needs.

    Thumbs up G-man

    I'm 6' 3" & weigh 280 lbs. I've owned a Unique Motorcars S/C Cobra for 17 yrs. that the Weavers custom built to fit me and have driven it long and hard!! I've had no problems with the fit or durability of the car. The Weavers build great cars which they stand behind.

    Keith,

    When I was building my car the joke among my friends was, "You can't fit in that, so who are going to give it to?" I'm 6'3, 240/lbs and I've been driving it for well over 8-years. You just have to learn how to slide in.
