On autoconsumer guide it says that the 1991 notchback's curb weight is 2775lbs.

RE: What was the lighest year mustang?
ok ill have to look so a notch then cheap, maybe find one on ebay or something. Im probably not going to even use the engine so it doesn't matter if it runs. Has anyone ever weighed their notch? Or are there for records of the actual curb weights of the cars?

RE: What was the lighest year mustang?
it depends on options and trans first of all, curb weight is not accurate reflection of thre cars weight, that is w/ no fluids whatsover
no mustang EVER weighed under 3000 lbs i can guarantee that.
my '89 5-speed notch w/ 1/4 tank and me in it was 3250 (i weigh about 140) it was w/ skinnies and convo pro's , also was all manual optioned car, ac and smog deleted , the rest full weight, nothing else gutted from it.
aod is about 100-150 lbs more than a 5-speed
and where do you live ? i know where there is a roller notch for sale for $1250
complete ex-texas patrol car, needs motor and trans , could use paint , rustfree
detroit area

I think any 87-93 notch would all weigh about the same, but i'd go with an 89-92 because they have forged pistons, which are better IMO.

RE: What was the lighest year mustang?
ok so any notch will work, Im in new jersey and was really looking for something cheaper that was about ready for the junkyard because all i want is the body. I will be doing this this summer so I am in no rush to get the car now.
