Re: 80's factory lightweights?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: flyingn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If the factory did not offer it as an option it could not be done. It was a different time in the 80's then it was in the 60's as far as liability goes. Since none of the manufactures offered a sound deadener delete and sealer delete, it was not available. Ford had the Cobra R's which had no radio, ac and no back seat. That would be the closest thing to a 'lightweight' factory car </div></div>
This is correct.
The factory would not have been able to simply delete the materials spontaneously; it would have to be a pre-defined, thought out approved package with a specific RPO assigned (like the 1LE Camaros mentioned above).
