Anyone know what the dry weight is for a 66 and a 67 Chevelle 2 door hard top?

LOL i have no hard data, but i think that's close. I was always surprised at how much they weighed compared to a 1st gen camaro lol.

Just planning ahead for my rotisserie I'm currently building. :D You never know what might come my way. I'll be ok due to the fact I'll only be putting a body/shell on the thing. So if the car is within that weight range prior to removing the engine, tranny, rear end, etc.... it will do fine.
Honestly, I think it will hold 3,600 - 4,000 lbs easy. I was thinking my next project will be a 67 Chevelle. I love those cars!!
That would be one hell of a shell if it was more than 3,600 (hummer??). :_paranoid
I tend to overbuild. I used 4' square tubing with 1/4' wall thickness. :eek:
I'll post picks soon.
