I've been having a heck of a time trying to find this and I'm sure someone here knows it off the top of their head or can at least point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

Published Factory shipping weight for a '66 V100 2dr is 2600lbs. Shipping weight is for a car without any options and near empty tank. It also seems that the published number is a bit less than true weight, maybe to get a better price for train/truck transport to the dealers. As it drives off the dealership lot, add another 50-100 lbs.
You also have to add for options. 2600lbs is for a no option V100, true weight will go up from there. If your V100 only has the optional 225 rather than the std 170, no radio, no PS, no AC, etc, 2650-2750lbs, probably real close to 2700.
I have a '68 V200, shipping weight is 2680lbs. It has a 225, 904 auto as options. On the scales at the race track with a 1/2 tank fuel, it's 2820lbs.

To know for sure, put it on a scale.

1/2 tank fuel is a good bet for sure.

Thanks for the replies, it's right around where I was figuring. I do plan on getting it to a scale but it's not street legal right now so it's gonna have to wait a while.
