Chuck, I know of one instance when Chevrolet changed the shipping weight on the '69 350-255hp equipped cars. The manufacturers used to submit their specifications to the Automobile Manufacturers Association. That included shipping weights. NHRA used to get their weights from that source. The AMA went kinda de-funked in the 1970s so the numbers are now submitted directly to NHRA.
