For comparison... I just ran my 73 GTO across the scales at 3,740. Here are the details...

--light weight weld wheels and bias slicks- total weight savings of 100 pounds over steel wheels and big rubber.
--aluminum heads and intake- at least 100 pounds lighter than iron
--Turbo 400
--factory non AC and non console.
--factory manual disk brakes and manual steering

Easy to see where a loaded car is well over 4k. I have had my bumpers off, and that front factory bumper is at least 100 pounds! The rear is maybe closer to 80 pounds.

While this car will pull the front wheels off the ground, I might need wheelie bars if I removed the railroad tie of a bumper!
