See ChevelleStuff (http://www.chevellestuff.com/69velle/weight.htm) for published weights of most base 69 models, then add or subtract various options. Don't know what you mean by AC delete since AC was an option and not standard anyway. Did it come with factory air and you removed it? Unless you removed EVERYTHING (compressor, condensor, brackets, controls, etc), there's still some residual stuff left.

Curb weight ~ 3335
Bucket seats ~ 14
396/402 engine ~ 249
TH400 ~ 47
Total ~ 3645

Power brakes, disc brakes, power steering, and various radios will add a few more pounds. Engine mods such as headers, aluminum intake, etc. may deduct a few pounds.

Do I win a big stuffed Teady Bear if I get it right? graemlins/beers.gif

3500# to 3600# should be pretty close.

The ChevelleStuff is a pretty nice site.

By AC delete, i meant the car never came with AC, since i heard people say radio delete. guess i said it wrong. :/

I have power disc brakes, but also have headers and aluminum intake, so I say around 3800 with me in it.

and brian, if i weight my car and its between 3500-3600, I will personally deliver you a picture of a big stuffed teady bear. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
