I would tend to think that only a scale could do that.
But, my guess is 3246 lbs. gross weight, per wall poster.

The base curb weight of a convertible is listed as 3248 (i.e., two pounds heavier).

Mid 70's Vettes typically had a curb weight of 3500-3600 lbs., so a C5 will be lighter by several hundreds of pounds.

Find the local DMV truck scale. They can weigh both (for a fee, of course) and then you will know for sure.

I believe manufacturer curb weights include oil, fuel, etc., but only standard equipment. Various options, therefore, will typically affect the actual weight measured.
