at least , they are lighter than a station wagon
Todd, remember that GVW is NOT the same as curb weight. GVW is a separate measure that accounts for full fuel, all fluids passengers and luggage. Much different than curb weight, which is listed as "shipping weight" 3,619

Also, can likely provide information on a known WW5 with build sheet information/VIN later in month. I looked at this car with a friend who was looking to purchase about 10 years ago as part of a 3 car collection. WW5 car was either Adriatic or Lucerne Blue with a White vinyl top and parchment interior. I saw the original build sheet still under the carpet (We peeled carpet back to show it resting there - was not removed). I crawled all over that car for hours. I think I have pictures...will need to look. Can get details from friend who I know has the information. Car was sold "out from under him" - he was extremely displeased. the 1970 pepper Green 4-spd 455 HO car also sold in same deal to other buyer who swooped in. My friend did end up with the 3rd car - 1971 LeMans Sport driver with T41 front end
