umm,that is mike's 68'  

You are correct sir. Mike did an excellent job on the car and we plan to keep it that way. It is first class all the way and many Kudos go to Mike and Lakeville Auto Body. I had been looking for a tube chassis car for almost two years and when I heard about this one being available I decided to persue it. I am very picking about what I like and I have never bought a T/K car before like this. Anyone who has seen my cars knows I am pretty particular about their appearance and performance. For me to buy it says tons about the quality of the car and the components used. Yes I plan to enjoy it...Must have missed my post on the other board about getting the car.....

[moparrr07]

I think our weight of our car is around the weight of your car.
We have a fiberglass cowl hood, a 383 with aluminum intake and rad, no headliner, 727, 8 3/4 rear, manual brakes and steering, the driver (383Kidd weighs 140lbs) and the owner and part driver dad weighs, lets just say twice as much as me. Compared to your weight if a subtract my weight from your car, it is 3150, plus other little stuff that may add up to 150lbs, we may be weighing only 2900lbs.

i wouldnt count on that

my dads old race car set up-

duster, 10.30s bracket car, 440 all steel, 727, 8 3/4, no interior, full tubs, stock frame rail, fiberglass doors/front end (one piece), no heavy glass, all street stuff like wipers removed

3000 lbs on the nose

[signet]

the truck weigh scales on the hiways work fine.

put the front wheels on,take note then get all wheels on for your total and % front and rear.

  Hello Guys..... Just a note to add to your Formulas..My 67 Dart GTS (also the real thing 383 4 speed) weighs in at 3385 pounds on certified scales.    Why the difference between mine and your 68 GTS i don't know.  Car was weighed without driver and 1/2 tank of gas, with all equiptment as delivered.

      Maynard

[jess13]

One thing is I beleive the 4 speed setup adds weight over a Auto setup.   There may even be quite a bit of diff in that area depending on bellhousing & flywheel used.  Plus you have Z bar,clutch  peddle assy and some other small things.

Hey i sure that alot of you still have the October 2003 HOTROD mag around its the one with the red 03 Camaro 427 on the front, Well anyway it has a great article called LOSE WEIGHT NOW! It is a Duster that the do all kinds of things to drop the weight. The put glass fenders bumpers aluminum rearend chunk, mono leafs, fiberglass doors, aluminum wheels, put a tubular k- member and even drained gas... They end up lossing 588lbs off an already aluminum headed small block abody. Funny thing is their ets dropped .58 seconds in the 1/4.... And for your guys looking to drop a few pounds over the weekend... clean the under carraige, my bet is youll loose 8-10lbs

Kind of ashamed to out my porky 69 Valiant, but here she is, all 3400# of her...

All steel body
AL MC
22" copper/brass radiator
AL Stealth intake
Iron 340, 4-speed
Under-dash A/C, no compressor
87 Daytona bucket seats, stock rear bench
B-body 8.75" rear with 10" drums
11.75" disc brakes with Viper calipers
1" sway bar, 1.140" t-bars
17x8" Cobra wheels, 245/45-17 tires
TTI headers and 3" exhaust
1/4 tank of gas, 185/70-14 spare tire, jack in trunk

With me in the car (220# at the time), total weight was 3620#, and weight split was 53%F/47%R, pretty good for an "old car" with lots of iron bits.  Lots has been changed, but I haven't weighed the car since then.  Changes include:

AL 26" radiator (heavier than 22" C/B rad)
Magnum serpentine belt system
Ram Van A/C compressor
Custom Auto Air underdash (20# less than OEM!)
EFI (M1 intake, injectors, regulator, ECM, fuel pump, return line, filters)
ART subframe connectors
ART torque boxes F/R
Optima battery (15# less than 75DT)
2000 Intrepid compact spare tire (should clear Viper calipers with spacer)
Driver lost 10#, trying for another 10#

I guess we'll see how much she'll gain or lose when I finally make it to the scales again.  If I can break even with all those upgrades, I'll be really happy.  After this, I'll relocate the battery to the trunk or find a 'glass hood to shift the weight around a little.

Anyone have a ballpark for a stock 72 Swinger, with a 318, and 904?  The reason I ask is because I need to know what leaf springs to buy.  I'm looking at the MP SS springs and they have 2800Lbs or 3800Lbs versions.  Any suggestions?

DO NOT get 3800# springs!! 

I have a pair of brand new 3400# springs that I pulled out. With the 3400# springs on the car, it would move just slightly when I put my full weight on the rear bumper. They are better on B bodies. Bought 3000# (002/003) springs and they seem ok.

Even 2800# is probably ok for your car, especially with a 318. Keep in mind, these springs were intended for drag racing, so a 3000# spring is MORE than adequate for a 3000# street car.

BTW, I would guess you're around 3200-3300 lbs.

[Notch 67]

How about this combination, what it could weight?

-67 notchback Barracuda, all steel, full bucket seat interior, 440 with al.heads, al.waterpump, al.waterpump housing, al.intake, TTi headers+3" exhaust, manual steering, 4-speed manual, a-body width dana 60, 15x6,5" steelies front, 15x8" steelies back 

[dd69a]

id say  3100 or 3200?

[flyboy01]

From what I have found published, /6 or V8 A-bodies (small block) went a little like this:
pre 66= 2700-2900
67= 2900
68= 3000
69= 3000
70-72= 3000-3200
72-74= 3100-3300
74-76= 3400-3500

Bear in mind that published weights were for stripped down cars, also barracuda, dart, valiant, dusters were generally within 100lbs of each other. Also, big blocks add 250-300 lbs to a car, also, options add up too, a/c weighs about 100lbs, power steering weighs more, different rear ends, etc. My dart, before I tore it apart weighed in at 3050 with a 318, 727, and a/c, it was a GT model, but was pretty lightly optioned. When I get the BB in, I plan to weigh it again.

My 67 Notch right when I bought it weighed 3034 on Edmunds.com's 4-pad scales.

Non-original 318 with aluminum intake, 904, 7-1/4 rear end, 14x5 wheels.
Power steer, floor shift with console, manual 4-wheel drums, full dual exhaust, factory starter, iron master, 1/4 tank of gas.
No A/C, no radio, no electronic ignition.

I think that's as specific as I can get.  I figure to weigh it again once I build out a real suspension/brakes and throw on some lightweight goodies.
