IROC is right: a few simple things can strip down a car quite a bit.
Here's mine for my '74 911.
1) Removal of A/C - 50 lbs.
2) Removal of spare and jack - 45 lbs.
3) Removal and replacement of the battery with a lightweight battery - 45 lbs.
4) Removal of back seat, parcel shelf, sound insulation and carpeting - 90 lbs.
That's about 230 lbs there.
Subtract that from about a 2400-pound '74 911, and I'm down to a little under 2200.
2170 to be exact, though personally, I haven't weighed the thing.
