When I first bought my 78 Fairmont 2 door sedan, it was bone stock, but a real stripper, 4 cylinder (all cast iron), 4 speed (cast iron case), manual steering and brakes, no radio, etc, and I drove it onto the scales with 1/3rd tank of gas, with the spare tire and jack still in the trunk, and weighted 2680 pounds.
