Anyone know how much taller, if at all, the BL is over the other models? I test drove an OBX and it had maybe an inch of clearance under my garage door. I read recently that the BL is a bit taller. I'm getting worried now that the BL I ordered isn't going to fit. :eek:

74 or 75 inch on my first edition , There seems to be about a half foot difference or there about parked next to a big bend . My garage is 7 foot , I have 6 inches clearance . If you don’t put bad lands or first edition crossbars on it you should be fine . Those are a little higher and are different than the other trims crossbars .

Yeah, I did not get the crossbars for that reason even though I really like the way they look.

So you will be looking at 71.4 with the stock tires.

Well, our garage is detached and built sometime after the house, which was built in 1958. It’s shorter than most and the OBX barely made it in so this should be interesting, lol.

The optional 235 tires add a small amount of height 3/8 inch higher if I remember correctly.

Find a buddy with one of those 3 cylinder models and swap springs/struts. Then you have the lower ride height but keep the 2.0 engine.....:clap:

For a few bucks I would install a 9x7 new door problem solved . If you are handy . When I bought my 1957 Belair that’s exactly what I did , Owned and restored that car over37 years .

I don't see any actual measurements here. My garage door is 73" I have an OBX on order but no-one can tell me how tall it will be with the stock antenna.

I fixed the issue by ordering a shorter antenna from Amazon. It’s got plenty of clearance now.
