[72 468/400chevelle]

I may be in the wrong forum or even the wrong site. I apologize if I am. I have a buddy with a 64 Chevy II. It's a 2 dr post car with a bench seat, 383 (aluminum heads) with a powerglide. Can anybody tell me what the weight should be on this car. He says it's around 3200lb without a driver. I would have thought a little lighter than that.
Thanks.

Danny

Look Here:

Actual results may vary depending on accessories. There is a listing at the bottom of the added weight of some of them.

Thanks, that site is just what I needed to settle a little disagreement.

You also must take into account larger tires, wheels, disc brakes, traction bars, big battery, dual exhaust, stereo, etc. My 67 was about 350# heavier than the curb weight specified with a 406, 700R4, 9" rear, power discs, etc.

Take the SOB to a Truck Scales and scale her so you can end the fight!!

I always figured my early '66 First Gen car was like 3050/3100 so go from ther b/c a I also figured a '66 L-79 Duece was about 2800/2850 or so......

I agree that scaling it is the only way to be sure. They do way more than you think. My '66 weighed almost 3100# with a 327-275HP and saginaw 4 spd.

It kinda depends on the trim and accessories but in the neighborhood of 2800 plus driver and extra gas i'd guess. Several run here and one is under 3000 with the driver.
