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.

Hmmm...that's interesting. It's strange to me how the weight always seems a little off with these cars. My '74 weighs in under 2300 with no fiberglass, except for the rear lid. There was another '74 with the same engine/trans, stripped down fairly well
and f/g lid and bumpers. His still weighed over 2400#. It might have been how much gas he had - don't know. I know he hadn't a spare or tools in the trunk. But conceivably, I would think his car should go down below 2200 with all the fiberglass he had...
