Like the title suggests, I'm trying to find out how much a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 weighs? It's a street car but has an aluminum headed 440. It's my buddy's car and we were bench racing the other night got into a discussion about weight. He is using the curb weight that he found on some website, but I argue that his car is heavier than that. What say you all? Pic for reference.

Headers? Auto trans? 8-3/4? Full interior?
My guess is 3650 with full tank of gas.
Nice ride.

Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

You'll get a lot of fairly good educated guesses on this site, but every car is different based on how it is equipped. Factory options equipped and aftermarket parts like wheels and heads can make a big difference.
Best way to know for sure is to weigh it. Many truck stops, race tracks, and moving companies will have a scale. Might charge you and your buddy a couple bucks but then you will know for sure.
Be sure everything is equal--gas tank full or empty, driver in or out of the car, etc.
Nice car, BTW.

Car has headers and full exhaust. No power steering or brakes. 727 and 8 3/4” rear end. Full factory interior.
I asked my buddy to put it on the scales at a local truck stop and he said “why should I do that, I already know how much it weighs?” That’s when the “debate” started.

Hard to argue with logic like that. Only one way to settle this, then. Propose a friendly gentlemen's wager and have him put his money where his mouth is. Have him name a number and then take the "over" or the "under'. Then head to the scales!

The 66 Coronet I had years ago was a lot lighter. It was missing about the lower 3" of the rear quarter panels. I didn't weigh mine either, in fact, the only vehicles I had any idea what they weighed was the trucks I hauled scrap in with. The truck pictured weighed 4850lbs with about a 1/2 tank of gas and me sitting in the seat. Adding the snow blade on the front added another 300 lbs.

I had a '67 Satellite that was 3250# in race condition on the track scales. Small block, automatic, headers w/ no exhaust, 8.75 rear with a spool and gun drilled axles, Dragstar wheels, skinny front and 28x9 slicks, fiberglass hood, power steering, floor shift w/ console, full bucket seat interior, all exterior trim intact, 10 gallons of gas, and me at 180#.
Add 150# for the big block, 100# for the cast aluminum wheel/street tire combo, 50# for stock axles and Sure grip, and 50# for a steel hood you are at 3600. Increase it an extra bit for more gas, larger driver, or cast iron exhaust.
