Shocked when I weighed my '68 Barracuda convertible.

Yup convertibles are a weeee bit (lots in some cases) heavier due to hidden bracing. torque boxes and so forth
here is one Waggin cut up and I got for extra metal parts

just imagine that chunk of metal hiding in your rocker panels from wheel well to wheel well
there is only 4 holes cut out to lighten the piece 2 that you see and 2 mirrored in the cutoff front section and it's over a .370 thickness

Wow! That thing is massive!!!
