I learned how to drive in my adoptive dad's 69 barracuda 'cuda. 340 4 speed, he bought it as a used car in 1972.
What an experience..... the driving instructor looked at the pedal extensions kinda weird but never said anything. (2x4 blocks duct taped to the clutch pedal)
Well, my wife is 4’ 10” and when she commandeered my ‘69 GT back in the 80s for her daily driver, I had to make removable pedal blocks for her to drive it. After I did that, I only got to drive it once in a while!
