Like mentioned above, the weight can vary depending on engine, trans and other options. Seems a good range is 3,400-3,800 lbs, give or take a bit. (Mine is about 3,950,,,,,ouch).

Also as mentioned above, nice car!

to get mine down to 3680, i gutted my front bumper, insulation under carpet is gone, heater core gone, wiper motor gone. small block, 727, moser 60.

gutting front bumper was a easy way to lose 30 lbs. i would say my car was close to 3800 lbs before i took some weight out.

Ok I took all the under carpet out of mine, went from power to manual steering, aluminum heads and intake and fuel cells and lighter seats. Next I am going to attempt to make fiberglass bumpers. Then maybe hood and deck lid

Forgive my ignorance, Aspen79, but why are you trying to lose weight?

 

[Aspen79]

Faster 1/8 et. It's a street car but I want to street race on Saturday night with the guys

if it was me, instead of trying to lose weight........NOS system!!! cheap and easy to use with awesome results.

There's also no replacement for displacement

Well yes, it's setup for a 250hp shoot. So that will happen but just figured a little less weight still would help. I have a good MSD ignition system (complete) box, wires and dist. Also timing retarts and a good dual fuel system as well. Forged Pistons also. It just that in my area of street racing these guys in Tx have fast car on the street.

If you lived near the coast, it could be 'Free The Whales'.
If you lived near the mennonites, it could be 'Fare Thee Well'.
But I'll take door number 3, 'Ft Worth'.
