3300 lbs all steel but the year one heavy fiberglass hood.
It's the car in sig photo, does have alum floor panels, but dana, filled block, all orig glass windows, factory dash, door panels, headliner, bumpers, etc. Car weight is without my butt in it. 3500 lbs with me.
A fiberglass fenders, doors, bumpers, hood, trunk, etc should be well under 3000 lbs driveable. My guess would be somewhere around 2800-2900 lbs.

Nice cars indeed! Sam, I hope you don't mind, I'm currently using your signature pic as my phone wallpaper, and I've now added Angelo's picture to my collection. 
My 67 Satellite weighs in at 3600 withOUT my 175 in the seat. It's pretty much stone stock with a 451 in place of the orig. 383. Aluminum heads, intake, and radiator are about the only weight savings on the car. Its also had subframe connectors and SSM lift/traction bars added, and runs full dual exhaust and steel wheels, which aren't light.

My 63 Sport Fury goes right about "3520" without me in the car or almost 3700 with me in the car. Body is all stock but it does have a glass hood. I added a 6 point rollbar and frame connectors so I guess without them it would weigh in the 3400 to 3450 area. Ron

Yes it is definitely interesting. It seems the 66-68 B-bodies are the most light of the B-bodies.

My 70 R/T S.E. Charger weighs 4290 with a 1/4 tank of gas & me "not" in it. It is loaded with every available option but a sunroof. All of these options add up & still runs 12's.
Weighed with certified NASCAR scales & weighed at the track.

B-Body's gained a good 100lbs or so in '68, with the new slightly bigger body panels. Generally, you'll find 67 and earlier are a little lighter than the more popular 68-70's

I will get a weight on my 70 Charger RT 4speed car. It has shed some weight during the buildup. I will soon see just how much.
