Keith Seymore's ride

Major props to a guy running that fast NA with a full interior! He has one of the cars that will continue to propel G3s to mainstream popularity. Congrats Keith

Nice ride!

I will sum it up by saying I AM IMPRESSED. JB

i read the article and its says those cars weigh in at 4600+?? any truth to that? i couldnt find anything online to prove it wrong but my 77 cutlass supreme weighed in at just shy of 3700 from the factory?

That 4600 lbs. is probably what the car is rated at at full load, max passengers, fuel, cargo, etc.

I am gonna have to disagree with that one my friend for these two door car's with dealer prepped with 3 gallons of petro weighed in at 3950

our 73 malibu weighed in at 4000lbs so full weight would probably be close to 4200lbs

Let me clarify

Iron headed 454 aluminum intake
TH400
dash, bench seat, rear seat was the only interior
AC all gone including firewall box

Now THAT is a Chevelle!!! SWEET.

anthony oldsmobile specs from the manual says 3638lbs only one that weighs more is the big window salon

Meh..... This is a controversy that will likely never end. Some people have weighed in at over 4300 lbs, while I personally weighed a base 76 back in the day on a CAT scale that was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500 lbs (been too long to remember the exact #). The weights are all over the place for these cars.

76 Base model, 350/350 combo, bench seat, not many options, AC removed, iron intake, headers & dual exhaust dumped at the axles if you want clarification.

Either way, you know that thing has some serious power to be pushing a car this big into the 9's. Not to mention it looks absolutely awesome!
Did anyone read the article about this car in PHR? It's a pretty neat read.

My first El Camino, a '73, weighed in at 4050 at the local grain elevator, with a full tank, which should be 208 lbs of gas. So 3842 would be the empty weight. Accessories will add up of course. That one had AC etc.
My '74 Malibu title sez 3950. So how close are title weights? Maybe just ball-park?

3950 is what I have on both titles for the 74 Malibu and documentation from GM of Canada for the 74 Malibu and On the the 77 Cutty it says same thing 3950

But wh the hell cares he went single digits in it take that ya dam 3rd gen haters

anthony see ur 10 bolt can hold power if u gut it. lol axles spool and gear

I was actually swapping the whole rear out if I get it its dfrom a 76 Monte and it has Boxed control arms, spooled and 4.56 gears drum to drum
