How is it that your car & driver combination is hundreds of #s lighter than other B/E bodies w/ similar equipment?

I always thought E bodies were 32-3400 fully loaded. That wouldnt be too far off then since you added cage, dana and some extras.

Very selective when it comes to parts on the car. Trans case is magnesium, aluminum flywheel, fuel cell is 8 gallons, not 20, all sound deadener has been removed, no heater, Wilwood front brakes. Doesn't hurt that I weigh 165#. New car should be 3100# or less, but that car has fiberglass bumpers, fenders, and decklid, Kirkey seats, and a few other tricks.

My wife's '70 Barracuda weighs 3603 w/o driver with about 3 gallons of gas in the tank. Iron head 440, 727, Dana 60, 3" exhaust all the way back to the tips, all steel, with a full interior. No power steering or brakes. No AC.

Battery still in factory location.

It weighs 3802 with me in it. I can't say what it weighs with her in it. (Less than me of course.)

I weighed it at the local truck stop 7 years ago...it weighed 3600 even at the time. I always questioned the accuracy of the scale, but I guess it was pretty darn close after all.

And 57% front / 43% rear doesn't surprise me, either.

I wonder if '70 B bodies weight more than '68-69s...

I always thought E bodies were lighter... I love your Cuda and especailly like your homage to the St louis Blues. I am a diehard Blackhawks fan, but can still appreciate the hockey reference smile

Not where it shows. Obviously a few tricks to get it this light and look untouched. But it can be done in steel.

This was 3760 (W/O driver) with a 655ci Wedge. Currently running a 580 wedge it's likely to be around 3735. Mild steel cage, heavy glass hood (the only glass part) and a full interior bar the upper part of the back seat. If it was 400lb lighter we would have met our 8.99 goal N/A years ago grin


'74 Challenger..9.46 @ 145.9 1/4, 6.001 @ 118 1/8 so far. 4023lb !!! # N/A, Marsh performance 655ci, Indy Maxx, T/R, Indy 600-13 X's, Street legal, pump gas, full interior, Cal-Tracs, mufflers, 3:73's and real 10.5 radials.
9.51 @ 142.4 1/4, 6.003 @ 114 1/8 with our old mule KB, 572-13, 580 wedge.
RHD '68 Barracuda Fastback 323ci street/strip. Best ET 13.88 @ 99.03

I’m surprised how heavy some are. I thought I was the only one running a tank.

My '69 road runner is a couple hundred pounds lighter than my '70 cuda in VERY similar condition. The E bodies are definitely heavier than comparable B bodies even though they're about a foot shorter, lol.
