Default Factory Bucket 65 Seat Weight

Curious what the bucket seats in my 65 weigh. In the quest for dropping some weight for Drag a Week, wondering how much I could take out with some lighter seats.

I weighed my '64 GTO buckets (identical to '65) and they were 45 pounds each, seat belts included.

Thanks Bart. Guessing I could lose a good 75 pounds then with some racing buckets if my back could take it.

Finally getting around to swapping seats. For reference, weighed the passenger seat and it's at 40 pounds. Assume the driver is the same.
