1963-64 Avanti weight

[DWR46]

I thought I would share the actual measured weight of my Avanti. It is a non-factory built R3. EVERYTHING on the car has been converted to R3 specs, including drivetrain, body, suspension and  interior items. It is an automatic. We always see lots of numbers quoted in magazine articles and the old factory ads, but here are real numbers from our race scales:

LF: 1.039 lbs

RF: 1,000 lbs

LR: 709 lbs

RR: 688 lbs.

 

The car had 8 gallons of fuel in it when weighed. Therefore the actual weight of the car is 3,388 lbs. with NO fuel, but including spare tire, lug wrench and jack.

Thanks for this. I actually thought it would have been about 4-500 lbs lighter, but the scales don't lie.

I have a stock, numbers matching '63'  R2...All info is interesting about these cars, ( I also have a '02' Avanti with a few Mods making just under 400hp)
