what model is it and what is its weight WITHOUT you in it? I'll be weighing mine in a few weeks, but was looking to see how heavy similar set ups to mine are.

mine is a 71 dart with an iron head small block. has 29.5 x 9 slicks, gutted dash and firewall, full cage, and one racing seat. two optima batteries and a 5 gallon fuel cell in the trunk. Willwood disc brakes on the front and factory drums in the rear. only fiberglass is the hood.

thanks in advance.
 
fiberglass bumpers....fiberglass hood and trunk lid...one seat...8 pt roll bar..2 batteries in trunk...5 gallons fuel cell....Strange front brakes...stock rear drums...aluminum radiator and eddy aluminum heads....ladder bars and coil over shocks.....10 x 29 Hoosiers and 15 x 8 drag lites.

Thanks for the replies. judging by the info you guys have shared I'm guessing that mine is going to be around 3050 to 3100 lbs without me in it. maybe a tick lighter, who knows?

I'm sure the Duster will be lighter. the big block is what really hurts the Dart. I can't confirm, but always have read and heard that a Mopar RB engine is almost 200 lbs heavier than a LA small block.

My old bracket car is a 67 Belvedere. it has only a single plastic race seat, 6-point cage, no carpet, a iron head 440, 727, 8 3/4, weld drag lites, aluminum intake and radiator, 5 gallon fuel cell, and 27-10.5-15 street radials. it weighs 3350 without me in it. all steel with a glass 67 Super Stock hood scoop.
 
72 Dart Full steel body, full interior, cage, frame connectors, aluminum wheels, fuel cell car weighs 2980 with out me. Small block aluminum heads and intake. My brothers 72 duster iron headed small block weighs almost the same. 1 pound difference, we couldn't believe it.
