one way we find out wieght around here is to go to the dump.get a print out at the scales.then just minus your wieght.
I'm gonna guess2800- 3000lbs Mine is a 70(the lightest) with an iron headed 302. Weighed 2950 with me with me sitting in it. i am dropping weight( me and the car) and hope to cut the figure down to 2700
My 72 Comet is currently 2760 lbs. That is with a 351W, aluminum intake (drops the motor back to 302 weight approx 480 lbs). The car also has been converted to manual steering and the entire AC/heater system has been stripped out of the car too.
My observation through the time I've had my car has been that there is a lot of variation in these old Fords. Best thing you can do is head to the local dump or recycler and ask them for a weight. The one I use charges $6.00
Mine weighs 2850 lbs. just go to a local feed store and they will do it for free!!That is if you live in a rural communitee
i've been wondering about weight my door jam says my mav weighed 4107 from the factory(smog crap,V8,Big bumpers,reinforced doors,AC) i'm hoping it weighs 3Kor under now after all the changes i've done. (changed bumpers,changed seats,alum intake,air pump removed,ac removed)
mmm... I know thats pretty light weight for a metal car, I remember reading somewhere that a 69 corvette is in the 3000 weight range, and its fiberglass! I know my little mav. sure picks up and goes for not having that much power behind it. So i would think about in the range of 3300 for a v8. Thats just a guess.
I will weigh mine as soon as I get it running. We have a dump right up the street, and I could drive up, walk up to the lady and ask a question, and look at the numbers as I step off the scale. The numbers are in huge yellow digits in 2 different places on the side of the building.
