You got that right. I'm 6'0" and my knees are bent at 90º sitting. Even more using the clutch which is somewhat stiff due to the SBC under the hood.

And rough riding? Did I mention that? I have 15" rims, not huge but big tires and I run 15 lbs. in them to help. Otherwise it will jar your fillings out of your teeth. Unless they have a modern engine they are good for 55 white knuckle MPH and with power a complete death trap.

At least mine has a roll bar and 3 point belts. That's the min to drive in traffic. Or even get in.
