Don't believe that book weight...that's dry shipping weight anyhow.
FWIW my Ventura on the scales weights 4,126 pounds with me in it. I weighed 180 at the time so...actural weight was 3,946. BUT ....I have removed the back seat & complete heater system, added fiberglass hood, 5 gal.fuel cell,NO power brakes or steering,and added lightweight wheels,and nothing in trunk. Not even a radio in car...  Think you get the picture. I have pulled a lot of weight off and it still not 3,800 pounds!!..Take your car to a moving company and ask them to scale your car. Will most likely do it for a small fee..
