If they are using the factory weight in their specs it's going to be without
any fluids in the car. My '66 factory weight is a lot lighter then the
actually are.

Rich,
 
    Check out the curb weights of the stock Imps of the vintage and the
Limo's by Stageway which are listed by production, but don't offer a
weight.........though the offered weight of Rockefeller's of only roughly 80
pounds more than the heaviest listed four door(s)car does seem a little
light,  ...........................

	have a question about this car. I notice the weight claims to be
4,833

	'66 Crown weights 5,440 lbs with a quarter tank of gas and nobody in
the
