My Deuce is also ~3,300 #'s with no driver. I don't see how the GM listed weights for the BB Novas were even remotely possible!

I have to agree....I don't know how some of the numbers above are so light. I weighed mine on a scale here in town.

IIRC, the car weighed something like 3640 and at the time, I weighed 160 (not anymore), [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] so the car came out at exactly 3800lbs.

Here is a picture of me in the Chevelle at the same scale. The car is fully loaded with a full tank of gas, cooler, lawn chairs, small amount of tools and a spare tire.

I've weighed it all by itself and it normally weighs 3600......which is light compared to a unibody Nova. IMO
