3430# with me in it. All steel except the hood. Still has stock front and rear seat, carpet, door panels, dash, and headliner. How is it that your car & driver combination is hundreds of #s lighter than other B/E bodies w/ similar equipment?

I always thought E bodies were 32-3400 fully loaded. That wouldnt be too far off then since you added cage, dana and some extras.

3430# with me in it. All steel except the hood. Still has stock front and rear seat, carpet, door panels, dash, and headliner. How is it that your car & driver combination is hundreds of #s lighter than other B/E bodies w/ similar equipment? Very selective when it comes to parts on the car. Trans case is magnesium, aluminum flywheel, fuel cell is 8 gallons, not 20, all sound deadener has been removed, no heater, Wilwood front brakes. Doesn't hurt that I weigh 165#. New car should be 3100# or less, but that car has fiberglass bumpers, fenders, and decklid, Kirkey seats, and a few other tricks.

My wife's '70 Barracuda weighs 3603 w/o driver with about 3 gallons of gas in the tank. Iron head 440, 727, Dana 60, 3" exhaust all the way back to the tips, all steel, with a full interior. No power steering or brakes. No AC.
Battery still in factory location.
It weighs 3802 with me in it. I can't say what it weighs with her in it. (Less than me of course.)
I weighed it at the local truck stop 7 years ago...it weighed 3600 even at the time. I always questioned the accuracy of the scale, but I guess it was pretty darn close after all.

I always thought E bodies were lighter... I love your Cuda and especailly like your homage to the St louis Blues. I am a diehard Blackhawks fan, but can still appreciate the hockey reference

Your doors appear to be lightened. Not where it shows. Obviously a few tricks to get it this light and look untouched. But it can be done in steel. Doug

My 68 Charger 3860 without me, 4050 with me. Woah! I was 3621 on the last set up. Hoping to shed a few LBS with the aluminum hemi and GERST suspension!

I’m surprised how heavy some are. I thought I was the only one running a tank.
1971 Plum Crazy Super Bee. 572 World Aluminum block with a Cope 727 & Dana 4.10 out back. 9.88 @ 138 with a 1.35 60 NA. Dialed back to 10.0’s. 4000 lbs with me in it.

My '69 road runner is a couple hundred pounds lighter than my '70 cuda in VERY similar condition. The E bodies are definitely heavier than comparable B bodies even though they're about a foot shorter, lol.
