I'm going to have to agree with Mercracer. Ford-published curb weights for the various boats from the 70s were all 4500 as an absolute minimum, and those were generally no-option cars with the smallest engine. Something truly large like a 77 town car with a 460 was well over 5000lbs.

I believe it, but I'm gonna wait.. Even though I want it so badly. I need to bring my marquis back to life. It's fine now, but it needs a good bit a love still."Charleston" the 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis LS sedanComment

nah its a fullsize 2 door LTD landau with a 351M. Remember, I did say there was ice on the scale so it couldve been off several hundred pounds. Now that I think of it, it was at a junkyard in Durham so I would imagine its "off" a little so they dont have to pay people as much for their junk cars.Originally posted by Mercracer View Post
I only drove up there for a rough estimate for how much it weighs.
Yeah i can tell you right now...spreading resources between three cars is a total bitch at times.Last edited by Jon; 02-25-2011, 06:26 PM.Comment

Look at your registration paper you carry with you in your wallet or look at the title. Here in New York at least the weight of the vehicle is printed on it. I just found out that my Crown Victoria originally was 3,658 while my Escort is 2,411.~David~

I would highly question that weight as being valid....Originally posted by 87gtVIC View PostComment

I am curious as to which one? Or are you saying in general all weights no matter vehicle?
Weight is also mentioned on the title of the vehicle.~David~

The weight listed for a car from the factory usually doesn't take options into account.
