That's exactly what I was thinking.Stock weight is about 2100 lbs. The engine and trans weigh around 350lbs. So a Gt with no power train gets you very close to your 1700 weigh goal.

Is that dry weight?I looked for my list of vehicle weights by year that I made in the late 70's but couldn't find it, I have it some where. lol I believe that the '69 was just under 1700, something like 1689 lbs and the weights went up to about 2100 lbs. I did look up on-line the weight given for a '70 GT in specifications was:
My guess is the weights I have for are for a basic model. When I find my list, I will post the weights but please don't hold your breathe.

Sorry I don't know and the list I made was more than forty years ago and my comment is based on a month or two old recollection. Just guessing about the weight difference but maybe the '69 was calculated with a 1.1L engine and since I had one and swapped it out for a 1.9, the weight difference between the '69 and the '70 could be there.Is that dry weight?
That sounds correct for a 1.1 GT. I remember them weighing just about 1800 lbs, and the 1.9 weighing about 2080.I looked for my list of vehicle weights by year that I made in the late 70's but couldn't find it, I have it some where. lol I believe that the '69 was just under 1700, something like 1689 lbs and the weights went up to about 2100 lbs.

You've got both rollbars in there too, don't you?I weighed my Opel GT last time I took it to the drag strip. I have AC so I expected to be around 2100, but it was actually 2036lbs.
No roll bars (or roll cage), but I have added front and rear anti-sway bar if that’s what you mean. I also have a few lbs of other extras like sheet metal and spare parts.You've got both rollbars in there too, don't you?
