Hey, from Detroit!

Hi, guys!

At 50, I have NEVER owned a B-bod, but remember fondly the ol' Savoy my parents had. I want to take the plunge this year so I'll have lots of questions. My first is this, how well will someone 6'3" or 6'4" and 230 lbs. fit into a B-body? When I last sat in the Savoy, I was about 8.

Thanks,
Brian

Welcome fellow Detroiter, you'll fit fine in a B-body. Are you looking for a project or something already finished?.

I'm in the hunt for something finished, early-generation ('62-66) and--get this--a four-door with a slant six or small block (family guy). If you see a runner, please let me know!

Welcome.

It's said that Plymouths had LESS padding in their seats than a Dodge did. I don't know if that is fact. But I can say I fit better in a runner than in a Bee (both with bench seat)

Lucky for you there are a lot of mopars in the detroit area. Check some of the classic car showrooms in town to get a feel for what you can get for the price you are thinking of and to see what you like. Good luck

You should have no problem.
I am 6'1" , 250 and have no issues in my Coronet.
My best bud is 6'3" 260 and fits in my car with no problems as well.
