I've always read somewhere between 3400 and 3500 stock.  Now your hemi might just add a few pounds... ::)

Everything I've found puts it at aprox. 3,650 up to 3,800.  The 3,800 was quoted a couple times for 70 Hemi Challengers.

I was told 3,700  ;D
Better yet, take it to the dump and get it weighed to be exactly 100% sure with you in it and what you'd usally have in the car, could also try truck stops.  ;D

Those old shipping weights are always a little optimistic
ovmf

In your case though it's not alot different

My guess is just a tick under 3500 depending on gas

Part of the dicrepancies in weight on older titles is they used dry weight figures.  When you leave out all the gas, water, oil, trans grease, rear end grease, battery, brake fluid etc, it does make a few pounds.  Still, they just plain listed some of them wrong.  My new '70 Cuda w/ 383 & man trans,  no PS, PB, AC etc listed 3404. I had a new '71 Fury 2 dr w/ 318, AT, AC, etc that was lsited at 3860.  I later traded it for a '72 Dodge Polara 2 dr HT w/ 400 w, AC etc, a somewhat longer car, that was titled 3650 I think.  If anything at all, the Polara should have out weighed the Fury by at least 400 lbs, & I think the 3860 was probably about right for the Fury.  So yes, you are correct in that factory listed weights are frequently incorrect.    Ovmf

I know you've probably already got the answer you need, but I thought this was a good link if anyone else has similar questions:
