Back in the old days when i used to drag race my maverick, my 76 stallion with full interior and all sheet metal weighed in at 2840 lbs. It is a 302 car with an earlier model 4 speed trans but that should give ya some idea on the weight of a v8 maverick.
: I've got a quick question concerning weight....I've got a 69.5 Mav with a 200 in it right now, and i'm considering putting a 302. The main reason that i decided to stick with this car rather than buying something with a big block is weight....according to my title, the mav weighs in at ~2500lbs. It's a matter of personal preference but i think a light car with a well built small block can keep pace with a lot of the "boats" with big blocks. Anyways, now i see someone who claims that their mav. weighs in at 3698 i believe....way more than is worth towing around! So, my question: how much (approx.) does a maverick weigh? I'm sure there are differences between years, but i just find it hard to believe that my car could weigh that much (ever tried leaning on the fender??? Dents right in, it's so thin). Thanks for any help....
