I owned a 67 BelvedereII Hemi 4 speed car, 100% stock with a half tank of gas it weighed 3880 lbs on the scales at Infinion Raceway.

GTX's had buckets seats (Belvedere had a bench) GTX had two lightweight hood scoops, Belvedere had none. Hemis weigh a tad more than a 440, auto's had 8.75 axles, 4 speeds had Dana 60's, so there's another 50 lbs difference between them. Otherwise a 67 GTX vs Belvedere would be near identical in weight. So there's a good baseline for you to guess from on the 440 GTX.Based on all this I'd guess a 440 auto 67 GTX would weigh in at right around 3,700-3,800lbs.

I'm not trying to be argumentative and you know this stuff better'n I do, but for giggles I checked the PS site since they weight the cars before the race and;

- '67 R/T Hemi: 3981 lbs with gas and driver

- '70 Hemi 'Cuda: 3930 lbs as above (Bob K's)

Obviously these are differently equipped cars from the ones discussed here, but this info would SEEM to suggest that all drivetrain options aside, the base cars should be close in weight? And FWIW, Bob isn't very heavy!

Yes, I know some of the PS cars have "ballast" added in stratigic spots so maybe that's the reason for the weights being so close.


So what's the weight difference between a fully dressed 440 and 340? 150 lbs?
