I am looking to find a real world complete car weight.

My hard tops were heavy. What about the sedans ?

These are the shippings weights, not actual weights, but a way to compare differences between models.

'66 Coronet V8 sedan - 3215
'66 Coronet V8 hardtop - 3235

so 20lbs difference

The main advantage to the sedan is not the few lbs less but a more rigid chassis.

Interesting.

Shipping weights are always to light then what the cars really weigh. My 63 is a full body interior B-body that goes 3700 with me in it. I bet you 66 weighs about the same. Ron

I'm building a '66 Coronet base Sedan for SS/EA right now. NHRA lists the weight as 3654.

not much help but my old 67 coronet hard top was 3850 w/ me (180) and 1/2 tank of gas (440 auto man steering)

So would I.....

My hardtop weights 3589. with no one in it. and yes show us some pics !

Again, don't know how much this will help, but my 67 Satellite weighs 3595 without me, 3770 with my 175 in the seat. I'm sure a satellite weighs a bit more than a Coronet Sedan, but their in the same ballpark.

Not much to see. It's an old S/S car that was last ran in the late 70's-early 80's. It was ran as a single four Hemi in AHRA/IHRA. I'm cleaning up the interior at the moment and upgrading to four wheel discs. Going to re-do the roll bar next and then buff the paint out. Probably not going to be real competitive, but that's not the point. I don't want to post current pics because I don't want them plastered all over the internet. Here's an old pic though...basically the same paint, no lettering on it. Black lacquer with glitter, the flames are multi-hue.

...Very cool, I hope to see it up at PRP one day!

The '66 Coronet sedan is my favorite car. Never could find a good one to build(that I could afford). They are the ultimate nostalgia car in my opinion.

Super cool !
Thanks for posting the pic. When completed would you post a couple photos of it ?

I had a 67 Coronet R/T I got it down to just a little over 2900 lbs with a 8 point cage without my 230 lbs. Worst mistake I ever made(I like the 66-67 Dodges & Plymouths best)I gutted the insides out like a round track car(yea I was to young to know better)lexan in the side windows,moved the rear end forward 3"(before I knew how to do it) looked like crap.But it was FAST and WON more races than any of my dragsters. I could run somewhere Friday,Saturday night and Sunday for less than it cost for one day now. I may could find some pictures of it to post but I do not think anyone would want to see them.

PS If there is a good side to ruining a perfect 67 Coronet R/T its how I learned to build race-cars,the hard way.

Very cool!!!
Thanks again for posting.

Wow, very cool, I'm building a stock eliminator car, a 66 Coronet 500, finished up the 383 motor, dyno'd pretty strong. Now I'm going after the body and chassis. Thanks for the picture, looking forward to seeing it finished.
