Subject: curb weight of a 2 door 1973 Olds 98
Does anyone know the curb weight of a 2 door 1973 Olds 98 with a 455 in
it? We
got this car a few months ago and were curious as to the weight of her. I
have
been trying to find spec sheets on the internet with little to no success.
I
don't think that she is as heavy as my first estimate of 5700 lb because a
1973
Toronado weighs 4660 lb (I found that spec) and that is a front wheel
drive,
which I would think would be heavier that a traditional RWD. Any other
specs
about our baby would be appreciated as well. Thanks to all.

========================
Take your car to the local scrap metal place or farm grain elevator and
have it weighed.
While at the scrap yard, ck the motor pile and see if any engines with D
heads are in there.
