Scale weight question

anyone know of a place where I could find the as delivered scale weight of my car.
or know it for a '72 manual steer manual brake 302/c4 bench seat 2d w/ no AC?
hehe
non grabber

 

My '70 6cyl title) reads 2505 lbs. I don't know how accurate that is. :confused:

 

wow that's light

thanks Rick.
I'm searching for a list of specs right now.
I'll post them if I find them.
the reason I ask is I pitched a lot of weight out of mine and it now weighs in at 2710
just curious how much I lost.

Mine now has a 9" rear, 347 c.i., 6 pt roll bar, - all the evil necessaries -weight! Add another 38lbs worth of giggle gas & bottle.

I can't imagine my car weighing that little. It was shipped from St. Thomas (mfg plant). I'm guessing they might have fudged a little on the weight as I'm sure they were charged by tonage. :confused:

 

I will be weighing my `72 Grabber again soon. but when I last weighed it ,
it weighed 2820 lbs. back then it had 302 (aluminum intake with headers) No A/C, manual steering ,manual brakes, full interior
9 inch rearend (heavy) And Cragar SS wheels(heavy).

 

I recently had both of my Mavs weighed. Both are 70s, but they are very different. The all stock one has a 170 ci six manuel trans, brakes and stereing with full interior. It is 2560 lb with a full tank. The other Mav has a 351w C4 9 inch rear Manuel bakes and stereing full fiberglass front end ie. hood fenders bumper valence. It also has AFR heads and aluminum intake, No back seat, no spare tire, no heat, no radio, lots of stuff under the dash removed, and it weighs 2780 lb with a full tank.

 

1972 maverick 302 c-4 9" 2400 1200 on both ends when you get ready to race it you can make it light

 

2400lb!!

Sweet!
Would you mind terribly letting me know as many details as you can remember?
How fast are you running?
I'm hoping for low 11s without completely gutting the car, but I think traction may be against me.
Thanks,

sweet!

That is beautiful!
Is the body all steel?
My set up is about halfway between yours and stock.
Aluminum headed small block, pitched the front seat and all the rubber mat and asphalt sound deadening mat.
I still have a dash and a back seat, but I think the back seat had better go since no one can get back there anyway.(Summit seats don't tilt to let you in)
Curiosity forces me to ask about the second battery.
Are you not running an alternator, or is it so the weight is balanced side to side in the back?
I'm thinking a full nitrous bottle weighs about the same as my Orbital battery.
Again, nice car!

I haven't quite made it to the track yet, so I don't know where the cars weaknesses are yet.
I refuse to open it up on the street. Leave that to the 17 second honda idiots.
I'll definately take you up if I get stumped on anything.
So cool to see people willing to help each other out without even knowing each other.
