Don't rule out 2 door coupes. Mine has leg room for miles because there is a very small back seat. My 6'7 buddy fits in it just fine. The downside of it is it being low to the ground and not super easy to get in and out of.
I remember Hakeem the Dream buzzing around FM 1960 in his red 911 in the late 80s.
Michael Jordan had a 993 Turbo

This is why I was asking more about what OP is looking for. I have two coupes and fit in the majority of them well. Super cars are the exception. Once you figure out how to get in l/out without tearing things up, it isn't bad
I think biggest challenge with a coupe is if you're tall and wide. Being "wide" makes it much harder to get in and out.
7' 7" NBA star Manute Bol had the driver's seat removed from his suv. He drove it from the back seat. Hth
Following. Let me know what you come up with. I'm 6'8" as well with 3 boys. My 9 year old is already 5'. I've pretty much resigned myself to driving trucks and full size SUVs for the rest of my days. Although I will say I worked with a guy who played basketball at USAFA who's 6'9" and drives an old Altima.

You really need to go to the car show or CarMaxx where you can sit in a lot of different cars. I did this while shopping coupes for my wife. Infiniti G37 and MB SL 500 fit ok but Lexus SC 430 didn't.
I'm going to a few dealerships on Thursday. We'll see what happens.
I test drove a Ford Bronco Sport last night and it's the leader in the clubhouse for now. The roof is at least 4-5 inches above the top of my head and the legroom is good. My kid are short so no worries about rear leg room.
While I was waiting for them to bring one around to test drive, I was looking at the Mustang, and the sales guy was trying to convince me I could fit. Got in and the leg room was OK, but my head was not just touching, but wedged against roof. Guy is like, "See, you fit!" and I said, "Yeah, but if there's any sort of accident, I feel like I would be killed instantly." He said, "Yeah, I guess that would be bad."
God bless ya, optimistic car salesman guy

So…
The seats lower.
The seats lower.
We have a Bronco Sport and I fit very well too. Lots of head room, and the seats have wonderful back support.CharleyKerfeld said:

Graduating from the family truckster next month. I really don't a pickup or another SUV, just a sedan that is safe and gets good mileage and can accommodate me being 6 ft 8.
TIA for any tall driver recs.
I'm 6'7" and drive a Genesis G90. I can configure the driver's seat to fit me, then comfortably sit in the backseat behind it.
