-----Yup,,,Mine weighed 1900lbs dripping wet, and was one of the fastest stock automobiles I ever drove. I found out many years later why they were so light when an owner at the Meadowbrook Concours let me in on a secret. The frames were exhaust tubing. Made sense to me although I have never checked that fact out. I never (even back then) would have gone 160 in one. It scared me silly at 100/110. The thing wouldnt begin to hook up so I thought drag racing at the strip would be fruitless. On the street from a role it was a way different situation. Mine was a 200........Bill S

I took a gearhead friend for a ride in it on 7 Hills Road, a blacktop straight road with hills. The car needed shocks (4 Konis in the rear) and at 130 in 3rd gear it was floating all over the road with my buddy screaming SLOW DOWN!! The car had a lot more in it but I never saw it.
