1971 challenger convertible stripped weight

[69classic]

Anyone know the approx weight of a 1971 challenger convertible body stripped down. No doors, no fenders, no hood,no trunk lid,no rear,engine,trans etc... Basically on a rotisserie. Thanks

I'm guessing, less than 2000#, closer to 1500#, but more than 1000#.

Agreed with pschlosser, between 1300# and 2000#. Not very heavy really.

Just wanted to know to figure how to get it off a stand with no fork lift after putting rear and k on.

Well, I can easily lift mine at the front, while resting on supports near the rear of the rockers in a military press fashion so they aren't that heavy at all. I'd be shocked to find they are anywhere close to 2K when the whole car weighs just under 3,400 lbs. Take the motor, glass, interior, suspension, wheels, tires etc out that THAT stuff adds up quick. What you need to do though is put braces where the doors sit. so the car doesn't flex when it's level and supported by the ends.
