The 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury 361/305 HP weighed in at #3267 lbs., and had a 'near perfect' 10.61 Wt/Hp factor.
I remembered seeing the attached article years ago showing that Dave Kempton's car still survives, and also that "someone" (Chrysler?) did indeed "chemically engineer" that particular car at least.
