What's your car weigh?....

[beanhead]

From time to time folks inquire about what their car may weigh, or how much weight can be saved over stock by doing certain mods.. I was thinking it might be a good point of reference to have so.....my car:
'68 satellite
Glasstek 6 BBL bolt-on style hood
'73 440 with RPM aluminum heads
Aluminum water pump,housing, radiator
Performer RPM intake
Demon 4bbl
1-7/8 TTI headers
No A/C or Heater components
Manual front disc brakes & power steering
2 front buckets from an '04 stratus
Steel wheels, 15x8 rear, 15x6 front
8-3/4 rear
Powermaster 9300 starter
Larger-than-stock-size battery
Everything else basically factory...weighed at a recycling yard (regulated and calibrated scale)
1/2 tank of gas, without me in it and only a small bag of emergency tools in the trunk..
3450 lbs(not as heavy as people think!)

It doesn't weigh anything...I use a scale for that!!!!

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

Dart is 3560
Roadrunner 3760

 

[33 IMP]

A12 runner, 3700 lbs, weighed a long time ago at riverside raceway.
62savoy, all steel except for hood scoop, all iron 440 except for intake, full size starter, cordoba big block copper rad, 727, full width 8.75. Centerline wheels 10"slicks light bucket seats no back seat but a 8pt roll bar , 3275lbs ,NOT including 3 1/2 exhaust to the bumper with big flowmasters that probably weighs 100lbs, or the driver.

I just weighed mine.
1970 Dodge Charger.
440 block, aluminum heads, intake, 2" headers. 3 inch exhaust with X pipe. Iron WP housing, aluminum water pump. 727, steel drive shaft, 8.75 axle with SG diff. Aluminum radiator, fan clutch and 7 blade fan. Optima battery in trunk.
Power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes. Frame connectors, torque boxes, fully welded and reinforced K member, lower control arms...1.15 Torsion bars, 1.25 front sway bar, 6 stage leaf springs, 3/4" rear sway bar. 18x9 front wheels, 18x10 rear. All steel body. Dynamat type sound deadener from firewall to trunk. Stock A/C box under the dash, console, SRT 4 bucket seats. Stock dash and gauges.
3940 lbs.
It was 3660 in 2000 with the original 318 and 904 trans, 14" steel wheels.
It was 3751 later that year with an iron head 440 & 727, aluminum intake, 1 7/8" headers.
The 3940 number is surely due to the heavy reinforcements to the frame and chassis as well as the wheels and tires.

[TetanusShot]

70 road runner. Stripped of anything not necessary to drive legally on the street/strip. hemi mega-block, iron heads, 727, 8 3/4, all steel panels and bumpers. 3680 lbs with me in it (180lbs).

I remember Hemirunner saying his mega block powered '70 weighed over 4k fully dressed, so thats a good indication of what interior and extra bits weigh on these things.

The GTX weighs in at about 3650 stock. May weigh less because I have an a12 fiberglass hood on it. Otherwise nothing special weight wise.

70GTX, 5.7 all stock, NAG1 transmission, 8 3/4 rear 17" Torque Thrusts, 07 Charger dash/console, stock rear seats, Corbeau buckets.
