My Deuce is also ~3,300 #'s with no driver. I don't see how the GM listed weights for the BB Novas were even remotely possible!

Thanks but i need Big Block weights:)
Sure seems to be large discrepancy with what stuff weighs,considering they were all pretty much optioned the same??????????????????

I have to agree....I don't know how some of the numbers above are so light. I weighed mine on a scale here in town.

IIRC, the car weighed something like 3640 and at the time, I weighed 160 (not anymore), <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif so the car came out at exactly 3800lbs.

Here is a picture of me in the Chevelle at the same scale. The car is fully loaded with a full tank of gas, cooler, lawn chairs, small amount of tools and a spare tire.

I've weighed it all by itself and it normally weighs 3600......which is light compared to a unibody Nova. IMO

I checked some of the other registrations and they are very low..

68 yellow car..2749

70 orange car...2957

These are obviously not correct, but that is what NYS has on the documents...and we all know the government is never wrong <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif
