curb weight for 72 charger 318 auto

[67tbird]

Put my 72 on scale today 3840 lbs with my corpulent self, 318 auto, ps, pb, a/c, no sound deadener, carpet just glued 2 floor, figured it would be lighter. Anybody know curb weights for 3rd gens? I remember a thread about weight diff. between bench vs buckets, but cant find it now.

Why weigh it with you on board for comparison to other cars? Curb weight is the car by itself.

city dump site let me weigh for free, but had trash truck come up behind me so not enough time to jump out, one of those, if I stop it prints ticket, she's got to account for tickets. I go 200-205 lbs

So 3635#'s or so for the car, not all that bad for a b-body, their not exactly light cars, not sure but, I would think the bench may be 25-30#'s heavier compaired, if you don't have a console with buckets, if so compared would probably be a wash, how much fuel ? (@ 10#'s per gallon or so) did you have all the spare tire & jack & everything in it also? small block A/C car, any aftermarket parts or aluminum stuff on the engine or any were else?

40-50 lb toolbox, no spare, column shift, 20-30 lb floorjack(I know, I know, floorjack w/o spare=idiot.it's on my to get list), aluminum radiator, combo jumpstarter/mini compressor 10-15lbs, and a Busch beer folding cooler/seat 5 lbs empty, half tank o gas 7*12=84lbs

Another words no real comparison to std weight...LOL... Still not that heavy... Just curiosity I guess...

3Rd gens were heavy...

[Mike DC]

3600-3700 isn't especially heavy for a well optioned 3rd-gen.

Well optioned IMO, means 440/Hemi with 4-gear, and Dana 60 like my buddies that tipped the scales at over 4100 LBS...Course, it has power everything too.

Anybody can get a stripper S6 car with no options to come in under 3600 LBS, but that typically isn't what people drive in the hobby today..
