I've gotten a lot of guesses and very little info after searching the web extensively yesterday, the only firm figure I found (and I don't know what that was based on) was 3,240 pounds. I can find specs for just about anything in, on, or near a first gen. Camaro, but I cannot (so far) find a reliable weight figure. It should be pretty near the same weight as a baseV-8 Camaro, but there could be differences if the base car had AC, etc.as the Z/28 was not available with AC or auto tranny.

I have '69 396 convertible and the title weight is 3700. If your car is driveable, I would take it to a DOT truck scale place(like on the interstate)and ask someone there to please weigh it. Then you'll know what your's really weighs.

Thank you for that! Actually, that sounds about right as my Z/28 was titled at 3,385 lbs. and actual weight is usually a little more than registration weight.

Just go to any truck stop and you can weigh it for like $5, also sometimes the truck scales on the freeways will let you weigh too.
