Mk1 Weight

[huskyboy_scott]

Hi Guys. Can anyone tell me the approximate weight of a 3 door Mk1? Cheers.

According to my old rego stickers, my 76 swallowtail was listed as 760kg and my 79 was 780kg. That would be empty weight of course both were 3 doors.

Yeah?

'76 Mk1 track car: caged and fully stripped 830kg

full cage can weight a bit, not to mention the other parts required to stiffen the car up suspension etc.

EDIT: Should add that would be complete dry weight, no fluids etc.

my reg sticker said 750 or 780 i believe. 76 3 dr

that reminds me Andrew, get Gunter back out again! dump a kr in it and let him rip!!!

Hey mate, I think about it regularly. Even as a road car would be fun.
I am going through a seperation at the moment and the ex wants half the value of him. Gunters not worth much without a motor and box eh?
I have a rebuilt KR here less head and a dodgy 5 speed that I bought years ago for top dollar.
It might happen one day........
Cheers and have a great 2008

Tell her its worth nothing but she probably knows how much u love it

i had my old gld 4-door weighed with 1/4 tank of fuel at 830kg. that was with standard wheels and interior, standard suspension (no swaybars).

i suspect that after the addition of swaybars front and rear, and larger wheels/tyres, theres a significant weight penalty.

so who really wants to put a big hefty vr6 in a mk1 now? hehe
