Is it a mild steel cage or a legal chromemoly cage?
Either way between 2800 to 3100 lbs. twocents
My chromemoly tube chassis 1970 Cuda with similar parts with thin steel replacement firewall and steel floor weighs 2750 lbs. with me in it at 260 lbs. driver race weight with a iron 400 block and Powerglide shruggy

Sounds a lot like my 68 Dart. I don't have a funny car cage but my roll cage is moly. Weight is 2896 without driver.

It used to be real light years ago when my son was driving it all the time but I fattened it up some. It was 2550 but with me, I removed the fiberglass doors and put stock doors with stock wind up windows, R3 block, alternator, racePak and accessories, and a few other items to make it a more old man friendly race car. I weigh a few more pounds than he does. Lol

I'm going to have my pretty stock-heavy in many places 74 Rallye Challenger down to 3100 street weight, and in just my first phase ov weight-reduction. Thats a 360, 4-speed, no superfancy stuff like light brakes or aluminum heads... and BIG tires on all 4. Certainly no silly lexan or (structural) fiberglass. What are you doing wrong? Curbs on a 72 Dart and a 74 Challenger are about 300lbs off, 500lbs off if you factor in my trim package...
