3,300 lbs?????? 69 Camaro
Yesterday I drove my 69 Camaro to work. A co-worker made me aware of a scale set in town that milk trucks pass through 24 hours a day. It is open and unmanned. You pull on the scale, come to a stop, then look across the street for a weight.
I couldn't resist. I rolled my 69 on there yesterday. Subtracting for my weight and my 2 year old in the back seat I came up with
3,300 lbs.
This car has an all aluminum LS1, Vintage a/c, VB&P fiberglass rear springs, C5 brakes, 1996 Caprice plastic gas tank (1/4 tank) and a ford 9" rear.
Does that weight sound right?
I thought it would have weighed less than that. The word is these scales are constantly calibrated.
He weighed his 2005 Vette and it came up within 40 lbs of the magazine testing which he accounts for differences in fuel.
