I lost my numbers

Does anyone know of a data base, for lack of better discription, of the gross, front and rear weights for a 1972...

Coupe
Big block
MT
With AC
with power windows
With radio

No power brakes
no power steering
no deluxe wheel trim

This will not be exact, but it will be close, I think.

This is VERY close to what I have backed into by adding and subtracting the GM AMA weights per options.

How does this car differ from the options I listed?

The tag I posted is not mine. It is one that someone posted for me to help me with my 73 BB. I think it was a almost fully optioned 73 BB car, but not 100% sure. The numbers would be close, other than the build dates of course.

My car was built May 30 1972. They changed to add the weights by then. Hugh

Thanks for this. I have collected several others from here and there and built an excel sheet to add an subtract weights depending on options. I have a copy of the old GM paperwork that identifies the weight and Frt Rear split by option.

Thanks again, will see what else pops up
