I finally got around to taking my car to a truck scale at the local grain elevator. It had about a third of a tank of gas in it and just a tad over 50 pounds of stuff in the trunk which I weighed after I got back from the scale since I forgot to empty the trunk before heading out. I was not in the car.
The car is a 67 Notch with a 340/416, 727, GV Overdrive and 8 3/4 with 3.73 gears. Wheels are steel Cragars with 295/55/15 on back and 155/80/15 on front. Iron heads, aluminum intake, Full exhaust with Doug's Headers, disc brakes up from, drums in the rear. No Power steering or brakes, no AC. I have high back bucket seats from a 73 duster, Bench rear and an automatic console. Full carpet with mass backing and lots of sound deadener as well as Lizard Skin sound deadener sprayed on the underside with sub frame connectors from US Cartool.
I tried to build it for cruising comfort as well as some good power for fun.
I think that pretty much covers what we're weighing here.
Weight came in at 3360 lbs minus the the 50 pounds of stuff in the trunk for a net weight of 3310 lbs without me in it.
Just wanted to share my actual real world results since i see numbers all over the place posted here. Scale was last certified in January of this year.
Cheers!
