hey every one i was just wondering how much your cars weighed what you have in them or what you took out of them to get that weight and if any one knows what the weight on the car is suposed to be all right thanks every one.
3640 lbs w/o driver and 1/4 tank of gas.
I haven't made any attempts to lighten the car and it doesn't have any extra weight in it either (like a spkr box)
Dunno but i would guess mine to be around 3,500 lbs with the 429 and auto.. car is mostly gutted.. single aluminum seat etc,..
I will weigh it next trip to the track this spring.
My '83 was 3250# w/o driver (and about 1/4 tank of gas) last year before I got into it for paint.
At the time it was as such:
-2.3T/T5
-cage
-2 power front seats
-full interior
-SFC's and STB
It should probably still be about the same with the following changes:
- additional cage bars
- removed rear seat
- remove power front seat tracks.
Weighed mine on a truck scale once. With a trunk full of , 1/2 tank of gas and me @ 280 lbs mine came in at 3800 lbs. So it's probably between 3400 and 3500 empty.
so these car are preety heavy that sucks i had all my calculations figured out to get my car into the high 12's or low 13's with the weight but i kinda figured the cars weighed about 3500 do you think i went a lil to low when i did the power to weight ratio my car has no reductions maby some more weight it has a sn95 7.5 rear and spindles and 302 with c4 and 2 10's in a box prolly weighs like 100 or so pounds

tripple post...ducking computer....lol
weighed my auto 88 TC with half tank of gas, without me in it. weighed 3360lbs. sounded a little light but who knows?
last time i weighed in it was 3460 but that was a couple years ago.
WOW!! You guys have some pretty light cars there, according to my door sticker, mine weighs in at 4,132 #s, so I'm assuming that means no gas or driver. Why is it that mine weighs that much, or is it an error on the sticker?
Your car probably isn't any heavier than mine....The 83-86's were lighter than the 87-88's
That isn the Gross Vehicle weight...as in the MAX the car should weigh fully loaded. That is not the curb weight of the car.
take the total GVWR of your car and subtract 900 lbs (thats 180 lbs for each 5 seat belt/passenger and driver). subtract 8 lbs for each gallon of gas that you estimate is missing from the tank. also subtract any weight you may have removed.
add back in your weight and any weight you added too the car like a system/subs v8 conversion....etc
you should be close enough too estimate the weight of your car. for some reason though alot of them come out of the factory with different gvwr stamps. mine says 4420 i think.
'83 Heritage, with V6. 3045# empty, 3225# with a driver. This is starting line weight, no a/c, p/s, fan shroud, ect., but with a full leather interior, including p/seats and windows, AOD trans, no spare tire. Add 125# for a SBF V8. Fred
I've lightened mine a bit.....My guess is around 3200 empty right now.
Mine is 3700lb with me in it - 1/2 tank of gas.
#3525 without me.
you ride is so fat........when she jump in de air she get stuck....
my 83 bird v8 weighs on the scale at milan dragway 1/4 tog, 3010lbs
