Weighed my bird May 23, 2016, 07:50:57 PM Random thread! Last night my four year old son and I took my bird for a drive. We ended up driving to my brothers work which is a large Pioneer seed corn plant. I weighed my car on the semi truck scales there and with me (210 lbs), my son (40 lbs?), and 1/2 tank of gas we scaled in at 3640 lbs. I always knew the car was fairly light but am glad to know its actual weight.Anyone else weighed theirs? I'd be curious to see what a Mark or a loaded out 5.0 bird or Cougar would weigh in comparison. Quote Selected

Weighed my bird Reply #2 – May 23, 2016, 08:16:27 PM Driver power seat only here. This suckers must be pretty heavy. I've never weighed one, but I have had my seats out several times for various reasons and do remember them having some "heft" to them. Quote Selected
Weighed my bird Reply #3 – May 23, 2016, 08:18:05 PM Aluminum headed 5.0, headers, AOD, and every option but a sunroof. My Thunderbird tips the scale with a full tank at 3556lbs. With me (~155) it's about 3710lbs or so. Quote Selected
Weighed my bird Reply #4 – May 23, 2016, 10:54:03 PM It took some digging but found my slips from 20 some years ago when my friend and I weighed our cars at the local co-op, my friends mother worked the scale there. I have no idea if we were in the cars or not, from the weights I think not, and how much fuel was in the tanks. Both cars were carb, cast heads, headers, with no a/c or emissions.85 bird with 289 and C4 total weight 3160, front 1820, rear 134084 cougar 351 and C6 total weight 3360, front 1970, rear 1390 Quote Selected
Weighed my bird Reply #5 – May 24, 2016, 04:43:06 AM I'd like to weigh mine once I swap to the t-5. It should be fairly light with manual everything and being a earlier car. I'll bet there is a 100lb difference at least from auto to stick shift. Quote Selected
