From the book "75 Years of Pontiac-Oakland," the factory listed weight for a '69 Bonneville convertible was 4,130 lbs. That may or may not be the actual weight. It doesn't say anything about the engine, but I don't imagine the weight of a 428 is that much different than a 400.

Thanks Stuart for the clarification, I saw something a few years back on my car's original shipping invoice that said 3,925lbs so just over 4,100lbs still makes sense.
The reason why I asked was a guy recently told me he thought my car weighed about 4,900 lbs and I thought I know it's a big un... but not that big, thanks again
