The Ford Barn

Need some advise and opinions from The Ford Barn universe. I was looking at the possible purchase of a 36 Convertible Sedan. Problem is the seat is set all the way to the front. I'm 6'3" and it is just really tight. No movement in pushing the seat back. The owner has installed seat belts and says the anchor bolts are preventing the seat from moving further back by possible 3 or 4 inches. Those few inches would help me tremendously. I'm all about safety but would that work? Are their any other tried and true solutions out their that others have tried and been successful at. I was wondering if the seat could be removed and the rails could be relocated a few inches back. I really like the car but this is a deal braker for me. The way it is now I look like a clown getting in this one. Ideas and comments appreciated.
