Actually by the time you get the cage and all the other stuff it is a good 150-200LBS easy
Nice, been wanting to see what mine weighs... I'd say 3900 area with me in it... I gained a crap load of weight after the surgeries... in past 2 months I lost 36 pounds so getting down some..long way to go though...

there is a big difference in a rollbar and a roll cage. A rollbar in mild steel will add 150lbs. A roll cage with support structure is another 150#, it also depends on if you use mild steel or chromoly. I have a old heavy cage in mine and Ellis has a chromoly. G-bodies are known to be reasonably light from the factory. That is why the 79-81 malibu's are hot right now. They make a great race car.

The real hoot was a civic rolling with with 2 Z06 rears under the back hatch. People were giving him the looks on the I5.
Anyway, we had to get 8 wheels with R tires to nevada and back. One corvette one civic. The only way to do it was to split the sets, worked out good.
