It usually weighs in between 4050 and 4100 lbs. depending on how much gas is in the tank (half/full). The lightest I ever got it was 4030 lbs. with half tank and no spare/jack. It's a pig...

ah ha! now we know the culprit here - my repop Custom Sport wheel is stuffed with Helium, Hydrogen and Liteium

This from another section; 71 convert w/chrome nose, aluminum radiator, Gen V 5.3 and TKX

Weights:

Front: 2,100
Rear: 1,820

total: 3,920

54/46 weight split

This with me, and some cargo (220 pounds) and full fuel and compact spare tire.

so 3,920 minus (220 + 120 + 15) equals 3,565

Not as light as I wish for all the lighter components installed but nothing else can be removed without affecting pleasure of driving.
