Firebird weightlivewire516 07-30-2007, 11:42 PM Looking at my title for my 1968 Firebird, it's listed as weighing 3700#. Is this accurate? Across the internet I have read conflicting information about the weight of muscle cars (anything from 2700# Mustangs and 3200# Chevelles to 2 ton camaros). Has any 1st gen F-body owner ever weighed their car? All help is appreciated. MrPbody 07-31-2007, 08:39 AM Scott's '68 weighed 3,250 at VMP last year (no driver). It has some interior parts removed, but also has a 10-point cage installed. The main part of the car is still intact. I would think this is in the ballpark for most 1st-gen F-bodies. Jim livewire516 08-02-2007, 08:21 PM I did the tire contact area x tire pressure method. It's a real rough estimate, but I got 3331 lbs w/o drive and coolant. With a 52.5/47.5 front/rear weight ratio. MrPbody 08-03-2007, 09:00 AM You might consider driving or towing it to a scale, just to be certain. That would of course, depend how important knowing the exact weight is to you. If you do, I'd be interested in the results. Jim livewire516 08-03-2007, 06:32 PM I will onces she's drivable, I need to set up the exhaust and hook up a battery. Where can I weigh my car in the Philly, area? Are there public weigh bridges in America? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
