Random thread! Last night my four year old son and I took my bird for a drive. We ended up driving to my brothers work which is a large Pioneer seed corn plant. I weighed my car on the semi truck scales there and with me (210 lbs), my son (40 lbs?), and 1/2 tank of gas we scaled in at 3640 lbs. I always knew the car was fairly light but am glad to know its actual weight.
Anyone else weighed theirs? I'd be curious to see what a Mark or a loaded out 5.0 bird or Cougar would weigh in comparison.
With me(200), approx 2/3 tank gas and a small 40-ish Lb tool bag mine weighed 3760... That's with alu heads, AOD, dual power seats... The A/C wasn't fully installed but other than hoses was in place...
Driver power seat only here. This suckers must be pretty heavy. I've never weighed one, but I have had my seats out several times for various reasons and do remember them having some "heft" to them.
Aluminum headed 5.0, headers, AOD, and every option but a sunroof. My Thunderbird tips the scale with a full tank at 3556lbs. With me (~155) it's about 3710lbs or so.
It took some digging but found my slips from 20 some years ago when my friend and I weighed our cars at the local co-op, my friends mother worked the scale there. I have no idea if we were in the cars or not, from the weights I think not, and how much fuel was in the tanks. Both cars were carb, cast heads, headers, with no a/c or emissions.
85 bird with 289 and C4 total weight 3160, front 1820, rear 1340
84 cougar 351 and C6 total weight 3360, front 1970, rear 1390
I'd like to weigh mine once I swap to the t-5. It should be fairly light with manual everything and being a earlier car. I'll bet there is a 100lb difference at least from auto to stick shift.
Weighed my a while back. 3,270 without me in it.
I'll try to weigh the Sport this week. Stay tuned.
Red cougar, iron heads, AOD. Dual power seats, moonroof.....the thing obviously is packed with shiznit...3680 with me in it and a 1/4 tank. (I'm 140 soaking wet)
Haven't weighed my others.
My Cougar weighs 2920.
