A Google search of "1971 Mustang weight" got me the following:

"1971 Mustang convertable, Pewter Metallic Silver, 460ish, C-6, 9"

3.50 Traction Lock, FRPP Cobra Jet Heads, Comp Cams roller cam, roller rockers and valve train, Hooker headers, MSD Pro Billit distibutor and Digital 6 Plus Ignition, Blue Thunder manifold, 850 DP Mighty Demon, Aeromotive fuel system. CSI Water Pump...more 1/4 Mile:11.92 MPH:115.40 60ft:1.84 Weight:3840 CID:460 Flywheel HP:540@5000 Torque:648@3500"

I know this is a 460 w/C6, which with aluminum heads and intake probably weighs 300-400 pounds more than an iron head/intake small block/C4.

Another hit, this one regarding '71's and '72's:

"SPECIFICATIONS Wheel base 109" Track f/r 61.5"/61.5" Height 50.1" Width 74.1" Length 189.51" Weight 3560lb.(351CJ)"

Here's another, specifically for the Boss 351:

"Curb Weight: 3560 lbs"

Of course Bosses and CJ's were Clevelands, which might be 200 lbs heavier than a 302. On the other hand, Bosses and CJ's were fastbacks, which might be a few pounds lighter than a vert.

Anyway, I couldn't believe it when you said you'd got no hits on the web. Maybe because you used "1973" in your search. I used "1971" instead and I got lots of hits.

180 Out TS 28

Thanks for the replies guys.

180, the reason I didn't get the hits I was looking for was because I was looking for a factory weight...I guess I always figured restomods listing the weights of their cars weren't factory accurate at all...nonetheless, thanks for the help!
