Yes, from Iowa. These cars are heavy and low on performance so probably will not run it at the PSMCDs although it would be fun to see how fast(slow) it is. May bring it up to spectate. It is a very nice car!!

I weighed my low option '73 GTO 4 speed. It was 3700 and change. Not as heavy as some make them out to be. The same car with a 3.42 rear was a 14.90 car. Not exactly low on performance either. Maybe your car could benefit from a good tune..

When I had my Can Am I weighed it Milan Drag way and it weighed 4260 lbs with a full tank of gas. It was loaded with all power options.

Wow, can power options really add 500+ pounds on one of these A-bodies?

It's always been a mystery to me what my 74 Lemans really weighs - some websites say they weigh 3700 or 3800 lbs (only modestly heavier than a 65-72 Lemans) and some say they came from the factory at closer to 4000 lbs (which would slow them down compared to the earlier A-bodies). Seems reasonable that the new 1973 EPA-mandated 5mph bumpers added a few hundred pounds but not a beastly 300 or 400 lbs??

Look at this sample data for 1973-74 Lemans/GTO:

Ultimate GTO website says 4044 lbs
http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/stats...1973&f1=weight

BUT many other sites SAY LESS w curb weight closer to earlier models:

3628 lbs.

Hagerty website says 3552 lbs
https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuati...pontiac-lemans

3579 lbs

When comparing apples to apples, I'd think a 73 is a little lighter than 74-77 because the 73's were only required to have the 5 mph bumpers in the front, and not in the rears. It wasn't until 74 that they were required to have both front and rear 5 mph bumpers. So, the 73 rear bumpers were somewhat lighter than the others.
