Weight of a 1st gen camaro?

[Stu Seitz]

I know all you old guys know this and have seen this thread a million times but is there any place where I could get the specs on a stocks 69 maro (ie wheel base, weight, lenght)? If not anyone know the weight of lets say a all iron sbc camaro?

[will69camaro]

Pretty sure the title on my car says 3400 lbs. Wheelbase is 108 inches, length is 186 inches i believe...Weight can be off considerably, my car weighed in at 3300lbs full of gas after everything i'd done and i did nothing but add weight to the car atfirst (bigger engine, stereo, insulation,etc...). Anything else you need to know?

The "Big Book of Camaro Data 1967-1973" has the following info:

Overall length = 186.0 inches
Overall width = 74.0 inches
Overall height = 51.6 inches
Wheelbase = 108.0 inches
Front tread = 59.6 inches
Rear tread = 59.5 inches
Curb weight = 3120 lbs

The weights seem a little low, they have a 67 weighing 2910 lbs and a 68 2950 lbs.

I am very curious what my car will end up weighing. No AC and No heat combined with the LS1 should more than make up for the dynomat and heavier suspension.

Anyone want to guess?

[F70t/a]

2950 lbs

[harshman]

my combo is at 3,700 lbs w/ driver and full tank - all iron big block w/ a t56. take off 200 lbs for driver and about 150 for a small block w/ iron heads.

[PAI Racing]

2,740 lbs. without driver and 1/2 tank of fuel.

[CarlC]

No driver, full tank, details of the car on my website.

LF 949#
RF 948#
LR 803#

3210 w/half tank of gas

3395 w/me in it

Think I might have acheived the lighter weight from using cheaper aftermarket body panels when I restored it instead of GM. Panels are thinner and I didn't have the money at the time (mowing lawns in high school).

2650/full tank

[Yenko boy]

Lead foot, what did you do to remove so much weight?

[h_leadfoot]

Glasfiber flipfront. Other seats. Glasfiber bumpers. Etc..
More weight is coming of. But not untill next season.

hey leadfoot...
Where did you get the glass front end and how is the quality? With regard to finish and sturdiness? Cost?

[chicane67]

I don´t know. Came with the car when bought it. Some guy here in Sweden made it. Realy nice quality and lots of sturdiness.

By the way. I paid $3000 for the car. No rust what so ever. Is that a good price in the states?

[Steve68]

UUUHHHHhhh, YAH!!!!!!!
