I've got an interested buyer in my 66 Chevelle but at 6' 11" he's not sure how well he will fit. I've heard of seat track extenders offering an additional 2 inches for F Body cars wasn't sure about A Body or if anyone knows of anyone who customizes seat mounts / brackets / seats frames etc... to accomodate really tall people. I'm hoping I can offer something up otherwise he may just have to search for a 66 Convertible.
Thanks in advance.

6'11"? That's tall! I'm 6'4". I got custom seat brackets from Jim at MotorSportSeats.com (http://www.MotorSportSeats.com). They lowered my Sparcos and moved the mounts back. I can still move the seat back more. That should help with leg room. Seat to top still could be a problem at that height. I have a little room with the seat setup (enough for a helmet) and I have a long torso.
Depends on what he is comfortable with.
There is also the full custom route. Check out some of the builders here, with all that skill I bet they could work up a solution.

I saw your car on ebay, looks good.
You could always make a set of brakets to move the seats back. I recently did this on a bench seat. I cut and flipped the rear braces fowards, and welded an extention to the front brackets, that way I used the factory mounting holes.
It moved the seat back about 4", which is actually a little more then I needed, but good for the next guy that may be taller.
BTW, how much did you mini tub your car?
