My guess is 2320 with 1/2 tank of gas. Really tough getting below 2300lbs.

all that fiberglass helps and so does the lightweight carpet, that stuff weighs a lot less. do you have an external oil radiator on the car? im going to guess your a little bit under 2300, so i will go with 2275.

Ok, I will be the odd man out and go for under 2200. Lets say 2165# with a 1/4 tank of gas.

Are the published spec's usually way off? The Morgan book says 2314 lbs (1050kg) for a '73T. If that were true it seems like he's taken more than 100# from his car.

Okay I have 8 and 9 X 16 rims of unknown manufacture with Falken tires. I have a Mocal front cooler. The weight is with a half tank of gas and no driver. I weighed it on a calibrated grain scale at the local grain elevator. Sundaypunch, Dont forget that the 3.2 and oil cooler ADDED weight to the base T #'s.

Here's another lightweight

Tyson's car weighed 2339lbs with half a tank of fuel and no driver. Scruffy is not exactly a porker of a car. I think hammer's car will be lighter, but not much more than 100lbs lighter

Smurf? I worked with the producer of the Smurfs. They weigh about 25 pounds at the heaviest.

Oh! Your car! I'd say 2325. The 3.2s are heavy.
