It lists the shipping weight by V8 or \6, thus:

62 2dr HT Dodge = 2985 lbs. for a slant 6 car (2965 for the coupe, the world's lightest B) 
63 2dr HT Dodge = 3061 lbs. for a slant 6 car

I'm guessing Chrysler averaged out the V8 / driveline combos to make it easier to calculate shipping weight charges.

>> 
>> 62 2dr HT V8 Dodge = 3185 lbs.
>> 63 2dr HT V8 Dodge = 3280 lbs.
>> 63 Polara 500 HT = 3426 lbs.
