no riverhorse i dont belive every thing ever body tells me and i dont know how they come up with shipping wt. and you dont either. it could be like the HP rating back then. if i was quoting HP out of the book you would be telling me im craze to. ill belive the guy that said he weighted his own car before i belive the book yes, he had no reason to lie about it. he had a 57 i ask him did he know how much it weighted and thats what he told me. i want gonna tell him you said he was wrong, you call him and tell him. ive all ways belived 57 weighted more than 3400 llbs. so no i havent changed my mind one way or another. what can i say, i wish you wouldnt get so upset. kennyd says his is 4000, the one up here the man says 4900 less driver, gas and what ever, so i still dont know. i looked up about 30 GM cars tonight from 1949 to 2003 and every one was from 3100 something to 3400 something lbs. that to me sounds a little odd. what happened to the light weight cars? a 1993 camaro weights the same thing as a 1957 chev.????????? im not talking about a car sitting on a car hauler either. if ive offended anyone im sorry, but its more to this than meets the eye. dont forget i know Cheatin Keaton also. if the car belonged to Cheatin Keaton and it was on the scales at the drag strip and i was looking at the weight i still wouldnt belive it.
