Those numbers (GVWR and both GAWR) aren't published anywhere; they were generated by computer based on the car and options; you'll have to get them from the VCL on a car similar to yours. :thumbs:

Gregg,
The Coupe curb weight is 3407 lbs. Shipping weigh is 3326
Air Conditioning weight with manual trans. is 95 lbs
Power steering weight is 26 lbs
I can't come up with a weight for the 4 speed?
Then there are weights for AM/FM with or without Stereophonic
Good luck

I have the use of a WEIGHTRONIX truck scale. My thought was to use this scale (which is +/- 2lbs accuracy) to weigh the front axle and then the rear axle and finally the entire car for the correct weights I seek. This will require me to put the rally's back on and have about 5 gal. of gas in the car when I do it.
I realize it is only a repro label, but I would like it to be a correct repro.
Any thoughts or opines on this, anybody?

Re: Vehicle Cert. Label (GREGG-73)
Don't confuse the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Ratings) with the actual weight of the car - that's not what they are. They're the maximum vehicle and individual front and rear axle weights the car is certified to carry and remain within the design limits of the suspension and tires. You want the numbers from the VCL for a car similar to yours, not what the car weighs. :thumbs:
