Goldmember, you better check your scales...I have never heard of a car that light without extreme lightening. My 72 dart weighs 3500 with me, aluminum headed small block, full exhaust, and a 75 pound moly roll bar. My buddies 68 dart is lightened a bunch with fiberglass hood, bumpers, and brackets, aluminum interior, one race bucket seat, lexan, aluminum headed 383, and it weighs 3020 with driver. I am sure he could get it under 2900 with more fiberglass, and a moly cage in place of the mild steel one.
I know a belvedere is probably a little lighter than a sport fury, but my big block four speed 65 weighed 4200 with me in it.

My 63 with the 440 goes about 3530 without me and about 3700 with me. Its a full interior stock body with rollbar and frame connectors. My sons Dart with a 400 in it goes about 3550 with him in the car and he is about 180 which makes his Dart just about 3370 without him. Ron

The only place I have ever weighed a car is on the NHRA scales at Bandimere. Still haven't seen a 3000 unlightened car that isn't a 4 banger. Having said that, just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist...It wouldn't be the first time I was incorrect! Maybe cars weigh more at this elevation?

On MIR's digital scales my Challenger weighed 3755#s w/ me (210#s) and a 3/4 full tank of gas. That's a full interior (except for the back seat) w/ rollbar, frame connectors, aluminum heads / intake / w-p housing, manual steering (saves almost 40#s over a power-steering setup), a complete 3" exhaust to the rear bumper, T/A-style fiberglass hood, and some misc. things removed (e.g. bumper reinforcement brackets). Yep, it's heavy... which is why I nicknamed it the MoPig years ago.

I'd check the scales,but they are NHRA scales and 2 small block dusters on the same scales were within 10lbs. Both small blocks,both all steel and the only difference is the amount of fuel in the tank.Yes it sounds better to up your weight to make you think your making some real HP,but I'll stick to reality.
I also have doubts of the reality there. I am in the 2900 area with glass hood and frt bumper, no interior, heater or wiper motor. Also all crash bars in doors gone and the shock mountings and reinforcement for the bumpers gone on my Duster. I only weigh 135 soaking wet with my winter clothes on so don't get much over 3000 in race weight.

My 67 coronet was 3580 with me on the scale at vegas. I weighed the exhaust when I took it off and it was 52 lbs, so I guess now race weight, all it, is about 3530. Full cage, two poly seats, all factory glass, wiper motor removed, carpeted interior.
