21 Coupe vs 24 Coupe for Room

Post by Model T Ron » Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:32 pm

Quick Question
I know I fit just fine at 6'3'' in a 21 Coupe but would a 24 Coupe have just as much room if you remove the shelf behind the front seat?

Thanks
Ron

I think that the gas tank is in the trunk in a 21 Coupe. Correct me if I’m wrong of course.
I have a 24 Coupe and the gas tank is under the seat. The seat is held up with a sheet metal riser and I don’t think the tank would allow the seat to go back any further. Anything is possible but you would have to move the gas tank back on the frame and a few other things.

There is a Service Bulletin that explains how to gain that extra leg room and move the seat back.
