3640 lbs w/o driver and 1/4 tank of gas.
I haven't made any attempts to lighten the car and it doesn't have any extra weight in it either (like a spkr box)

My '83 was 3250# w/o driver (and about 1/4 tank of gas) last year before I got into it for paint.

At the time it was as such:
-2.3T/T5
-cage
-2 power front seats
-full interior
-SFC's and STB

It should probably still be about the same with the following changes:
- additional cage bars
- removed rear seat
- remove power front seat tracks.

Weighed mine on a truck scale once. With a trunk full of , 1/2 tank of gas and me @ 280 lbs mine came in at 3800 lbs. So it's probably between 3400 and 3500 empty.

WOW!! You guys have some pretty light cars there, according to my door sticker, mine weighs in at 4,132 #s, so I'm assuming that means no gas or driver.  Why is it that mine weighs that much, or is it an error on the sticker?

Your car probably isn't any heavier than mine....The 83-86's were lighter than the 87-88's

That isn the Gross Vehicle weight...as in the MAX the car should weigh fully loaded.  That is not the curb weight of the car.
