1973 Duster unladden weight?

Craig NY said
Well i went to DMV today and as expected they gave me a hard time cause the weight i put was wrong. I went with like 3221 for an oddball # and since there was no weight on the title they had to looki it up and they listed it at like a little over 2800. Also 73 was the first year for titles, so they had a problem looking up the VIN in the computer, and the guy was telling me that i had to "trace" the Vin off the plate on the dash using a pencil to rub it on a piece of paper! I hadent hearsd anything like it, he said that there was a wrong # or one missing, but the title stated it clearly, and i checked it with the title when i bought the car!! This guy was ready to send me away after i waited an HOUR AND A HALF! Thankfully he asked a supervisor if he could do it and thank god she said yes, man what a hassle, but im legal now, and i went from there to pick up my Welds and sticky Mickys, 275 60R 15, now mounted and balanced, they look JUICY. In a day or two itll be off to the shop to install them and other goodies!!!![/QUOTE I think the reason for VIN number problem is because everything is set up on 17 digits now. It seems some people don't remember we have older cars with less digits. My 73 Dart sport weighs 3090 LBs. 360/904 - 8 3/4, I did own a 1969 Dart that weighed 2850 LBs, 340/4-speed 8 3/4.
