Default curb weight

I keep getting mixed facts about the curb weight of a 1967 mustang, preferably with a "c" code engine. I've read answers from 2600lbs.-3100lbs. anyone know a site that provides this information?

Let me introduce you to the FAQ section on here. See if you can find the curb weight in here.

I have also been there. However, when searching elsewhere, I found ranges between 2600-3200 for a '66 Coupe . . .

That depends on whether it is a coupe, fastback or vert and what engine, transmission and rear is in it. The best way to know exactly how much your car weighs is to take it to a grainelevator where they have a scale you can drive onto.

Easily located at a land fill or stone quarry.

For those of us in the big city without grain elevators , truck stops or landfills, you can often find certified scales at some rental facilities. I've had my Jeep weighed a few times at United Rentals. IIRC, it was about $10 for two readings (good way to figure your front to back ratio) if you do not require a certified reading (i.e. not used for a loaded truck for the highway).

Nothing in tech data. So no one knows the weight of a 67? 68? 69? with their engine size?

Have you not been paying attention? There are a lot of factors that come into play regarding the weight of your indivicual car. Let me ask you this. Did you actually check with the FAQ to get the average weiight of your car? If so, what was that weight?
