Meanwhile back at the unladen weights ... according to the 1975 owner's manual, a standard weighs 1,973 lbs. and a Super weighs 2,072 lbs. -- a 99 lb. difference.
The 1971 owner's manual lists the weights as 1,807 and 1,918, respectively -- a 111 lb. difference.
A 1967 standard weighs 1,764 lbs. according to its owner's manual.
The only way there could be a 500 lb. difference would be if one compares a 1952 split window to a 1975 Super -- and that would be assuming the '52 was a svelt 1,572 lbs. Under those apples and oranges comparisons, a '71 Super weighs 55 lbs. less than a '75 standard.
And now back to the never-ending debate and the challenge to begin all challenges ...
