I have my bird setup to run pure stock but haven't made any attempt to lighten it. A 70 formula RAIII with PS and PDB, 400 turbo, as the only weight adding options. Scales at 3600 lbs. exactly without driver and a full tank of gas (spare removed), and that was on an NHRA cert scale just last month at the races. I'd be interested in seeing what a published weight for this car is if you have a source you've decided on?

I've scaled everything I own, just for my own purposes to compare times with others. I've been surprised at what some of these old muscle cars weigh.
