2315 for the '72-73 T and 2370 for the E & S models. Remember that factory curb weights are with spare tire, tool kit, jack and all fluids, including about 90% full gas tank. Most 911s always weigh more than the published curb weight, especially heavily optioned cars, often by 2-300 lbs.

On my '67 911S, I have removed the 50 lbs. of cast iron ingots in the front bumpers, installed lighter sport seats, removed the spare, tool kit and jack, and my car still weighs 2370 lbs. with a 3/4-full tank of gas. The listed curb weight for my model is 2271 lbs., so I could still run the tank empty and be above that figure. It is a plain-vanilla model with no AC, sunroof or other options except for the Webasto aux. gas heater.
