i have 2 b-bodies, '65 coronet and 69 coronet. the '65 is about 3900 with me in it and the '69 4060 with me in it. my friends cutlass is no light weight. i helped him put the hood on once and it weighed a "ton"' i think you'd have to really gut one to get it down in the low 3000lb range. my friends is probably 3700-3800lbs without a driver. i'd bet my friends cutlass is heavier than my '65 and close to my '69 in weight.
