At least that red tape is cleared up.
Although nobody has answer my question in the previous post relating to FB's. Oh well.
Neo: Let me know next time a bunch of guys want to meet, I'll see If I can drop a line.

Interesting. There are quite a few FB/SA's floating around. In fact there is a real beauty of a 79 SA. Redone Maroon paint and a rebuilt engine. It used to come to my old gas station but not recently.
Since you own an FB perhaps you could answer a few questions for me? As well any others who'd like to add input or answer is welcomed!
1. Technically can a 6'7" man fit in a FB/SA?
2. Do any FB/SA's come with tilt steering?

A) GSL's and GSL-SE's have higher seats than other models (due to an extra tilt adjustment), especially with the leather option. If you do buy one of those, you may want to look into getting a base/GS model seat.
B) If you get a model with a glass moon roof, that will add a couple more inches of headroom
2.) No, much to my regret, no FB came with tilt steering
There are couple guys in the FB forum who are around 6'7" who fit fine...

1.) I would say safely yes. I'm 5'8", and I have TONS of room behind my seat. Although, I do have 2 recomendations.

Np... too bad it didn't work out for you...
base models (S Models) do not have their designation anywhere in their literature or anywhere on the car.
The GS, GSL, GSL-SE (I think the old LS model too) all have identifying badging. So if you see an FB with no badging you know it's a base model

Well I figured, why the heck not revive this thread, which has seemingly all but died. In anycase I don't live in Keswick anymore (so sad) so my dreams of a York Region for me have all but ceased. However, I thought it be nice to see what's been happening on this forum since the last time I was on. I also doubt now that I'm college that I won't be able to buy a car for some time, unless of course I find a well paying job during the break...hahah.
