Has anyone the weight of a bare Avanti frame?

Jun 15, 2006 1 Replies

Just went out and weighed the stainless steel Avanti frame. It is 248# with the body mounts and front crossmember.



Has anyone weighed a bare Studebaker Avanti frame with no suspension or components for comparison?



Also, does anyone have the weight of the Avanti Dana 44 complete with drums, and leaf springs, less tires and wheels?



Would like to compare this weight to an independent axle assembly.



Best regards.



gosh - don't know what they weighed new.

a typical 3-4 year old C-K frame (unrestored) weighed about 72 pounds. a Lark 6 frame was down to about 22 pounds within 3 years.

after that, they're unibodies.
