Don't know about yours for sure, but mine is 3670 lbs.. Your local refuse center or highway weigh scale should weigh you in without a charge.

I'm a little surprised that I was not able to find the weight in any of the car books.

My '73 Cuda small block is 3450lbs w/auto. I think a big block would be additional 150lbs more.....3600 to 3650 is safe bet.......
Don't get 3500lbs axles , go with 5000 or 6000 depending on the trailer company. Did you say open or enclosed?

Trouble... here is a link you can look up weight, codes etc...  http://www.mymopar.com/vehicleweights.htm.  It lists 70 Cuda at 3395lbs factory shipping weight.  

I got a 18' tandom Trailer Pro Trailer that i'll sell for $2200.  Best pulling trailer i've had so far... although it's only got about 100 miles on it, 2005 model.  Blue in color, with some extras such as D rings, fender marker lights, dual tail lights (far & near), tandom brakes, slant deck load.  Measures 83" between inner fenders.  I had special ordered to pull my 70 Cuda.  I'd like to move up to an enclosed trailer 24-28 foot with living quarters.  It's in new condition & stored indoors.  I got pics if you have interest.

Thanks,I just checked the site out. It does say 3395.Would it be more weight for a 440 6 pack,and less weight for a 4 speed? Just curious about that. My brother has a trailer that he is looking at.If it falls through I will email you.Where are you located?
Thanks again Al.

Located in Iowa.  I haven't listed it or anything, was going to wait till spring so if it falls through I'm sure I'll still have it.  Here's a pic just in case.

On an 18' X 82' with 7000 GVWR with two 3500 lb axles with wood deck & typical joist supports should run about 1650 lb gross.  GVWR minus weight of trailer will giva ya capacity weight.
