Firstly, from memory JZD was 6'5"...
Tony Lawther owns a right hand drive single turbo DeLorean in Southampton and can be contacted by with:-

I am sure he wouldn't mind you trying to see if the DeLorean works for you...
Good luck!
Chris

There's a dude in mainland europe (forgot his name - oops) who's 2.0m tall. That's 6'7" to you and me.
EDIT:
Here's Andy from Belgium:

I am not sure about this answer myself, but all the tall friends that took a ride on my D fitted fine with at least an inch or two before touching the "roof".
Not sure how incline you set your seats to, but there are plenty of "leaning back" room if you do find yourself too tall for the car. And I suppose custom making a thin OEM looking seat (so you sit lower) is easy, as the OEM DeLorean seats design is quite plain and simple...
