According to the standard catalog of Chrysler, 1924-1990:
A 58 Dodge Coronet 2 door sedan had a shipping weight of 3505lbs.
A 58 Plymouth Fury 2 door club sedan had a shipping weight of 3240 lbs - 3370 lbs. : A 4 door Fury sedan at 3255 lbs - 3430 lbs
The same book lists a 71 Duster with a shipping weight of 2825 lbs - 2920 lbs
A 71 340 Duster at 3140 lbs. : A 4 door Valiant at 2835 lbs - 2935 lbs
The book lists a 63 Belvedere 2 door sedan at 3000 lbs - 3215 lbs
A 2 door ht at 3025 lbs - 3190 lbs : A 4 door sedan at 3020 lbs
The book lists a 69 383 Road Runner at 3435 lbs coupe and 3450 lbs HT
Looks to me the A body weighs about the same as the 63 B body and both are a little light, but the 69 B Body's are closer in weight to the 58 cars. Gene
That book is wrong on the original shipping weights of the 1963 Plymouth Belvederes 2 door sedans, way to light
I raced a original 1963 Plymouth M.W. 415 HP 2 door sedan with the original factory carpet, heater and radio delete option, the NHRA minimum weight for that car back in the mid 1970 was 3320 Lbs. with out the driver
I had to remove the heater to get it down to that weight with a half of tank of gasoline
Maybe the aluminum front end cars could have been near those weight but not the OEM all steel cars
I also owned and raced a M.W. 1963 Belvedere 2 door hardtop, it weighed more the sedan did
I've owned and race more than one A body also, they are a lot lighter than any of the B body where
My last pump gas BB 1971 duster weighed 3450 Lbs. with me in it with a full tank of gas, I weighed around 270 Lbs. with all the race gear on in that car at the tracks. That car had a fibrgelas race weight hood and front bumper, extra insulation under the heavy duty good carpet, I wasn't trying to make that car a lightweight do to wanting to race it on the streets of L.A for money
I owned a 1959 Dodge Coronet 326 C.I.V8 Powerflyte 2 door hardtop also, no way it was as light as the later B bodies where
I'm thinking that car was nearer to 4000 Lbs. empty than nearer to 3500 Lbs.
