Anyone know what the dry weight is for a 66 and a 67 Chevelle 2 door hard top?

LOL i have no hard data, but i think that's close. I was always surprised at how much they weighed compared to a 1st gen camaro lol.

Just planning ahead for my rotisserie I'm currently building.

You never know what might come my way. I'll be ok due to the fact I'll only be putting a body/shell on the thing. So if the car is within that weight range prior to removing the engine, tranny, rear end, etc.... it will do fine.

Honestly, I think it will hold 3,600 - 4,000 lbs easy. I was thinking my next project will be a 67 Chevelle. I love those cars!!

That would be one hell of a shell if it was more than 3,600 (hummer??).

I tend to overbuild. I used 4' square tubing with 1/4' wall thickness.

I'll post picks soon.
