Stand on a bathroom scale and write down your weight. Now completely disassemble your car and stand on the scale with it, and subtract your weight. Continue doing this with every piece and then add them together.

Look in the yellow pages for a scrapyard...they have scales

My 72 (350TH3510 bolt)with your setup was around 3650 on a half tank and tools in trunk.

Joe is close. all depends on gas/spair tire/tools and such

go to a paper recycling place. There has to be one in your area. That's what I did with my 71. The weight was 3310lbs without me in it.

Moving and storage places also have scales. Back east they normally advertise as "Public Scales" Landfills and dumps have them also, if you are unhappy with the weight or the car you can just go park it and get it plowed under.
