How much should my car weigh?

Just trying to figure out a ball park estimate for what my car should weigh.

Its a 1984 sports coupe, with a carb'd 350 and T5 transmission.

2500-3000 sound about right?

No...

Depending on options, around 3200-3400. Don't think I've ever heard of one of these with a full interior getting down anywhere close to 3000.

Thanks man! It was a base line V6 coupe. So about 0 options off the line. Still that way other then engine and tranny swap.

How much do the IROCs usually weigh? I would imagine more because of the TPI setup, T Tops etc

Right... a 5-speed IROC usually weighs in the low-mid 3400s.
