<div dir="ltr">I may have mentioned this before, but when we were in college we had a 63 Corvette coupe, and I drove my wife to the hospital while she was in labor with our first child in it. So, in the real world things sometimes fit where they don't fit! --BILL Lewis<br>

A less than likeable acquaintance tried to jump into the Pantera after a friend was driving it around.<br>
<br>
He wasn't overly tall (under 6ft), but luckily about 30 lbs overweight, and couldn't comfortably fit in between the steering wheel and race seat bolster.<br>

>>>I drove your Ferrari 308 from Texas to California to deliver it to new (and current) owner Rick Moseley. Your recollection is correct. They have quite a bit more room than a Pantera inside, and are certainly more comfortable. I'm six feet tall and had to have the seat several clicks forward of the rearmost position to be seated correctly.<br clear="none">

I would suggest that the 308 Kirby tried had 'issues' and the seat wasn't all the way back.<br clear="none">

I've seen the 308 that was used in Magnum PI; they had to cut the floorpan and bolt the seat to the floor and Tom Selleck was still never really 'in' that car; his head stuck out through the top and there is no way they could fit the roof on.<br clear="none">
