Guesses I've looked at some older GE catalogs for similar products, and hi/lo gas ranges can weigh from 280 to 340 pounds, it appears that the models that included an upper microwave oven tended to be heavier than the models with thermal ovens up top. By way of height, the photo shows the range to be about the same height as the refrigerator. A safe guess for that would be 65/66".
Maybe this will help with your shipping.

Coloric Double Oven range Should be around 65-68" high, the upper oven is just an oven the Ultaray broiler is in the top of the lower oven. The weight should be 350-400 pounds.
I have worked on many of these ranges, there is a whole building that had this range in NW Washington DC that was built around 1965-1966 named the Colonnade at 2800 New Mexico Ave. that I have worked in hundreds of times.
If you have any questions after you get it let me know.

Ultra Ray Broiler On A Gas Range Is gas heated, If you have a regular looking Romex line sticking out of the wall up high it was probably for the fan over the range.
If it is a heavy 8-6 Ga wire the house may have had or was wired for an electric range, Electric ranges in the US operate on 240 or 208 volts, there is actually no such thing as 220.

Thanks Combo52! Added a somewhat weak photo of what I see, it's right under the cabinet. I noticed that had to cut away the bottom of that cabinet to accommodate the Caloric range too. so, no room for a hood.

 My Grandmother had almost that exact stove in the 70s.
Really, can I take a guess how that started? | ||

Caloric ultra gas wall oven
This was a brand new caloric gas wall oven that I found up in Pennsylvania six or seven years ago not far from where it was made.
It’s currently residing in the museum kitchen. Probably one of the only advantages of a gas broiler is it actually does consume most of the smoke and so forth from cooking things. You can see when it first fires up it’s just blue but within a minute the whole thing is glowing red hot. You can also see the huge high quality broiler pan that caloric used which allowed you to do a great amount of food at one time quite evenly. | ||

branding
Ultraray wasn't just a gimmicky 60s name for a big metal thing that spreads the flame in the oven to get more coverage. A feature that all gas ovens have.
No, it was a genius marketing scheme that only a 1960s advertising firm could come up with to rebrand "stinky appliance that will burn down your home and poison your family" ---- LOL. John it's amazing how this dishwasher and stove recently made it all these years into a craigslist ad yet so many of those sooted up, standing pilot, roach den ranges above, let's call them a carbon-dioxide-emitting-heat-box-of-death, have been summarily ripped from the buildings they've contaminated over the years, were sent to the scrap yard, and replaced with.....something better, which is well, anything.

Oh please, get a hold of yourself. You're upset over semantics on a gas range?
You should know by now that I am not a fan of gas appliances in the home. I have nothing against Caloric nor against you. My grandmother had this a double decker gas range, in this color, with the knobs on the top surface like this. I can still smell Christmas ham she had baking circa 1971-72. | ||

Ultra Ray
When I lived in Wilmington DE the Stove had the Ultra Ray broiler. A stainless steel screen that became incandescent when lit. It was the best broiler that I ever had in a gas stove. It is similar to a professional restaurant salamander. The current stove is a GE dual fuel with a multi-pass electric broiler. It is good but nothing like the Ultra Ray.
