Best Weight Guess

[jdiesel33]

What do guys estimate my 68 weighs right now? It is totally stripped, no interior, no trunk, no hood, no fenders. Does have the quarters, doors, wheels, brakes, and suspension.

Thanks

Just over 4k with a big block and close to 300 lb driver.  What does the big block and tranny weigh 1k stripped my guess would be 1500 - 2k

I was thinking somewhere around 1,500 stripped. Just wanted to see if I was in the ballpark.

[41husk]

yep! I would say you are close

[69charger2002]

i'd say closer to 2000 pounds.

My BB R/T SE not stripped is 3,800 lbs. even.

I seriously doubt it's 2k lbs. Mine is in the same shape yours is in, except my deck lid is on and I don't have the front suspension on it, and I grabbed the bumper with my fingers and pulled it backward uphill about 20 feet and into the garage. And it wasn't that difficult. I do have a dolly with casters attached to the front end that weighs a little more than a k-frame. I'd say less than 1,500 lbs.

This is a list I've been compiling for a long time.  It's mostly rough estimates based on memories about carrying & lifting these pieces over the years.  It is not perfectly accurate but it seems to come out roughly in the ballpark when you add up the whole car.  There is probably quite at bit of "misc" stuff missing.  And the fasteners add up to a lot when you include everything on the whole car. 

If anyone has corrections or additions, I'm listening.

69 Charger component weight estimates

I think the 2nd-gen unibody shell itself is something like 1200-1300 lbs.  But that's a very rough estimate.  
The weight of a convertible Dynacorn repro 69 Camaro unibody (it had the door shells and trunklid, but no roof and nothing forward of the firewall whatsoever) was about 900 pounds.


fenders - 45 lbs each  
hood - 50-60 lbs  
Trunkild - 25 lbs?

bumpers & brackets - maybe 25 lbs at each end  
Front valance w/lights - 15 lbs
grille (whole assembly) - 40 lbs?  

steel door shells alone - 40 lbs ?
(doors - probably 60-70 pounds each by the time they have the glass & hardware & vent windows. )

Windshield + rear window + rear side window glass - maybe 100 lbs ?  

rear axle (8.75" with no brakes) - 160 lbs  
Dana 60 rear for these cars - 210 lbs
Driveshaft - 30 lbs?
(entire unsprung rear end (with wheels/tires and leaf springs) -  300+ lbs?)

front K-frame, with the LCAs, strut rods, swaybar, steering linkage, etc  - ? - probably over 120 lbs
stock power steering box - 40 lbs.    
(front susp total here + 100 lbs for the wheels & brakes/spindles = 260+ lbs?)

Brake pedel assy + power booster + MC + prop block - 40 lbs?
steering column & wheel - 25 lbs?  
under-dash heat/AC box - 20 lbs?
Taillight assy's - 20 lbs?

front buckets - 40+ lbs each ?
dash assembly - 50 lbs?
rear bench - 25 lbs?
Carpeting + other various insulation - 35 lbs?
Center console + shifter assy - 25 lbs?

 
*  *  *  total so far = around  2600-2700 lbs  for the rolling chassis with no drivetrain  *  *  *  

BB wedge motor - 625-675 lbs
727 tranny - 120+ lbs?

Battery - 50 lbs
Spare tire - 30 lbs
Jack + tire iron - 20 lbs

*  *  *  total = around 3600 lbs without any of the fluids *  *  *
