68 2+2 Convertible
Permalink  

I have a parts car 68 2 door coupe off the frame with the doors off and wanted to know if anyone knows the weight of this body.

I need to move it about a foot to work on it and I now have it on stilts.  Wondering if we could move it with 4 guys?

So how strong are the guys? I would guess around 6 to 7 hundred pounds. With 4 of you, you will know that you are all lifting. Fortunate you just have a short distance to go. Last car I helped with was a 66 GTX and I think there was six of us and it was quite comfortable.

All the glass, window regulators still in it? All the interior gutted?

A bare shell, I'm betting 4 guys, but if it's still got stuff in it, I won't be one of those guys helping you!

Is it a convetible or a coupe?  The subject line says convertible, but the text says coupe.     If convertible, I'd presume you've got some steel bracing the door opening.
