Best looking A Body

similarly equipped, the 7/8/9 Barracudas are the heaviest of the 108s, and rival E-bodies. But the good news is the rears are the heavy part, and it don't take a lot of effort to get a 50/50 car.
By contrast, my 70 Swinger 340 was an easy 300 pounds lighter than my identically equipped 68 Barracuda. Well not quite true; the dual full length 3" pipes with Dynomax 3-pass muffs are 72 pounds, versus IDK about the Swinger junk.
My Swinger was 3330 trackside, me in it at 130 (1971), so car was 3200
My Barracuda was 3667, me in it.
with aluminum heads, intake,and 4-speed case/extension, and with the 23pound GVod box. Otherwise, they were similarly equipped. I took 200 pounds off the Barracuda and she scaled 3467 trackside, me in it, at 205,(2004) so car was 3262....... after the 200 was taken out,plus the engine and trans lightened up.
That big rear window, and support works is more than just a pretty face. And the fold-down rear seat is also a tank at 64 pounds. But I knew that going in, and so I installed a 360. That's 20 cubes for 200 pounds, so fair trade to have the big wheel wells, and more weight over the rear.
Good points on the big glass and heavy back seat. I'll have to wait a few months to weight mine due to salt on the roads, but now I'm really curious.
Wow though, you have had the same car since 1971? Thats impressive.
130 to 205lbs.....I should leave that alone, lol..
I graduated high school in 79 weighting 114lbs at almost 5'9...I went in the military but had to get a weight waiver.
Fast forward to now, 141 lbs and shrunk to 5'8, lol. I still have a hard time putting on weight. Hated it all my life, but now not complaining about not being able to put on weight.
