How much does a 1963 Impala Z11 weigh before the "modifications" started?

I didn't see anywhere that specifically tells the weight from the factory before the race teams got ahold of them. Plus what is the difference then between a factory 1963 Impala with the 409 dual quad car? All of that aluminum should have made a very specific difference in weight.

In a book called” factory lightweights “...Detroit drag racing specials of the 60s .......written by Charles R Morris states 3345 pounds......
In a book titled “extreme muscle cars”.... the factory light weight legacy ......written by Bill Holder and Phil Kunz.......it states “the final cars would be released later in 63 the cars had a shipping weight of about 3245 pounds”

That's a ton lighter than my 64 when I class raced it in the 70s! Although it was heavier than the "shipping weight" IHRA had by almost 200 lbs. I think they had it listed as 3680lbs.
