The maximum length limit is a real killer. For domestic vehicles, you're limited to a pony car, which can be a fun, but not necessarily refined, ride. Perhaps a '67-'73 Mercury Cougar, which can be a bit heavier and softer riding than a comparably aged Mustang. I still like the Avanti II, as it was a handbuilt vehicle using humble drivetrain components. A fiberglass body, so rust is not a consideration in that respect, but steel sections under the passenger comparment, known as "hog troughs" to Avanti buffs for their unusual shape, can rot out, but replacement panels are available. I'm 6'2" and was comfortable behind the wheel (the example I was in did not have a sunroof, which helped). If you can fit behind the wheel of a '71 - '81 Camaro, you should be able to fit in this car.
