Original 289 Weight
Has anyone weighed an original (unmodified) 289 Slabside?
I am looking for an actual weight for the cars as opposed to Shelby's claimed weight of 2,020 lbs. Thanks, Kevin |
Kevin,
Most tests show curb and tested and all vary curb. 1912,,2170,2130.2020 in lbs tested..2315.2355,2310.2540 in lbs These figures from various tests down by R&T, AUTOCAR,SPORTSCAR & the like. Ross |
289 cobra weight
Hello, CSX2498 weighs in at 1960lbs.

Karl,
Thanks. Is that with the original iron head motor, or have you made any changes to the car? I saw the side pipes in your gallery, but I don't think that would change the weight much. Was the tank empty when it was weighed? Thanks again, Kevin |
With sticky tires and nearly 380 HP it's no wonder they ran circles around the Corvettes. That's why many Corvette drivers jummped ship.

2206 declared on non modified 1964 289 production car. Measured, with G8s 7.35-15 Goodyear, it was 2250! I hope that it was helpful
