    It looks like the closest truck stop with a certified scales is the pilot travel center in Bow.
    Pilot Travel Center #896
    728 SR-3A
    Bow, NH

    There you can drive the car on the scale and get a certified weight slip for a few bucks. Unless you know of a certified scales closer but I think Pete hit it pretty close.

    A lot of Circle track racers have scale sets.

    My 29 weighs 2400 and change with a 32 frame and a Pontiac V8 and a cast iron 3 speed so here's pretty close give or take

    ...or if you have a gravel pit or scrap iron recycler, they usually have truck scales that will get you real close on weight.
    You'd likely create enough comotion they wouldn't charge and you'd find out how much the car is worth scrap...at least that's my experience and no reflection of yours... I really like the color combination...my old High School colors too

  7. There is a rock and gravel retail lot near me that has a drive-on scale. I'm sure a place like that would do it just for the "goodwill" factor.
    (They have scales for homeowners with small stone projects who show up to weigh "before loading", load a bit of rock in their trunk or pickup bed, then weigh-n-pay on the way back out.)
