Thanks Andy

Mine, was about 4 gals shy of a full tank, but I don't think that will acount for the 480 pound difference.

It, must be the extra motors I carry, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I'll make you feel better- mine is 2035 with 1/4 tank gas and no spair tire, no driver. Its one of those "heavy" 73's, not the flyweigh early cars, and has not been on a diet.

I'm not sure what it weighs right now but consider I can lift either back wheel off the ground with 1 hand or either fron with 2 It can't be that much.

But it is a little stripped at the moment.

Richard,

I have seen what you carry in your trunk......

You could build another 914 with what you carry in that car....

Never had one over 2200lbs, but I always pulled the BUB's off the later 914's. What year is your 914?

Stock 1970, with passenger compartment floor tar removed.

2039 lbs with 2/3 tank of gas, tools, etc.

I'm anxious to see what it weighs after I finish my Subaru conversion.
