While I love the interior styling ,seats, dash, shifter, gauges etc... the cockpit itself is very tight . Especially if your anywhere near 6ft,200+ pounds, Im 6'3 & 250 lbs So getting in/out and even driving it comfortably was a big issue for me ,Tilt wheel is a must ,but I don't think it was even available 1968? Still one of the most FUN cars to drive that ive ever owned . The biggest draw back to me about the Corvettes are the other Corvette owners !!! some weird dudes , not you typical motorhead kind guys

Thanks for the "walk down Memory Lane" Jeff. After reading your post, it brought back memories of my 68 (327) and 69 (427) Corvettes - both convertibles. I remember not quite sitting down into the car - more like falling into it. LOL.
