The 63's get a pass because I never weighed one to make comment, but I assume they loiter somewhere in the 3500-3600 ballpark. 3360 for my '63 330 now that 3" exhaust added 65 lbs. Full interior, steel wheels but with aluminum heads.

Now there's the missing link. 3360! That is good starting weight. It looks like the 64's were the start of a weight increase.
Even A-bodies can differ from each other in stripped form. The 6ix cylinder Dusters and Twisters were believed to be the lightest bodies compared to 8ight cylinder models even with out their motors in place. Strange. I had a '75 Duster that was a PIG. 318,PDB,A/C,power steering IIRC it was well over 3700 lbs.
'63 Dodge 330
11.19 @ 121 mph Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.
9.92 @ 135mph with a 350 shot of nitrous and 93 octane pump. 1.43 60 ft. 3,750 lbs.

Add back the front drums, heater box and cast iron heads and you're well over 3500 for the '63's.

Here is a list of shipping weights from 1960-1974. http://www.mymopar.com/vehicleweights.htm "The weights listed below were taken for The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1945 - 1975" where they are listed as "factory shipping weight". Thus, assume that the given weights are for base models with no fuel."
Even with no fuel, the weights on that list seem a little on the light side.

You have posted three of my favorite MoPars. I had a 64 Polara that was solid and ran/drove. Is one I regret having sold.

Yeah cdw, those were some of the most handsomest designs of that era and beyond.
I must confess though, like you, my all time favorite is the 64' 330 Sedan. While being entangled with a Chevrolet, I couldn't think of finding a 330 in the 80's, but as they say, Love comes finding you especially when I found out that the 65's 330's were lighter than their previous year siblings. IIRC, I think the 65' 330's were actually called Deluxe Econo sedans or something like that.
Even when talking shop of the other brands, I've had a keen eye for the 62'-63' Bisaynes, 62'-64' Catalinas/Venturas and the 62'-63'starliners/Galaxies or what ever they're called like the one below.
