1973 Chevelle w/ ps , pb no ac , interior is removed ,ex. for dash and driver seat , 1/8th tank gas , no spare or jack small block w/ me in car(200#). It tipped the scales at 3990#. I'm scared to guess what it's gonna weigh when the interior , ac and big block is put in
Mitch.
It' funny that that is what a 73 actually weighs. I have read in 1973 Chevelle brochures that they only weigh 3400-3500. I guess maybe they base that on 1970's measurement units...
The 3500 lb figure is based on a strip down 6 cyl model. (no carpet, no radio etc etc)
Every option has a weight that would need to be added to the base weight figure.
Like A/C adds 102 lbs, disc brakes adds 26 lbs, power steering adds 29 lbs, vinyl top adds 7 lbs, astro bucket seats adds 19 lbs, etc etc
