My 63 Polara H/T weighed about 3200 w/o driver. Mega block,crossram,dana,mild 12pt cage,Will wood brakes,light seats,gutted doors,lexan 3/16 rear and side windows,glass hood and front bumper. The cage was heavy as it was originally bolted on 6x6 plates top and bottom. The seat brackets were also heavy. My new car is a 64 Belvedere post. Moly cage,seats w/ brackets are 19 lbs. Chrome moly steering column (looks stock),moly strut rods,cut down K-Frame,aluminum 5 gal cell,steel bumpers w/aluminum brackets,windshield will be lexan as well. I have removed all unused brackets and mounts. All else should be the same. Hopeing for 3000-3050 w/o driver. The vent assy's weigh 13lbs apiece if you want to run fixed windows, I like mine to go up & down. I'm trying to be as light as possible (with-in cost) while looking stock. For what its worth my buddys 65 H/T w/no cage, all steel,full interior, headers only exh, 2x4 intake weighs about 3500

Well I bought and built one on the premis that they were fairly light cars. It was a street/strip car with a pump gas 451 with Indy heads. We did nothing to lighten the car, except the backseat was gone and it did have an 8 point rollbar. The body was 100% stock and all steel. I even left all of the undercoating on the car, and there was a lot. It had a 727 and a Dana and weighed 3770 with me in it. I weigh 250. So at 3520 I am not gonna say it was light at all but I sure wish I still had it. Oh yeah went 10.50's like that.

My '62 B body Savoy was about as light as I have seen....3307# with driver @ 200#. It was "GUTTED"! Lexan windows, fiberglass hood, trunk, bumpers, all aluminum interior, etc. It had a 2X3 box frame from trans cross member back. Stock front end, 440, 727, 8-3/4, ladder bars and coil overs. Full 12 pt. cage with shocks mounted to front strut bars off cage(no inner fenders). Light weight wheels, smallest drumms on brakes, etc. I can't think of much else to have taken out of it. Was not steet legal. NO wiring, lights, park brake, NOTHING that wasn't neccessary. Still was heavier than I had expected.
Sorry,,,I meant 3077# w/driver!!

We can turn that 65 into a 64 real quick just like we did for Randy Farmer . We make the pin on hood and trunk, both bumpers, doors, fenders, dash board, 3 different heigths of Max Wedge scoops, 2 different heigths of Hemi scoops, and if you want to go altered wheelbase 65 style, we can do that too. We are Sled City Fiberglass , and don't you forget it.
