      the above is with a full option list. A stripped down model (no A/c, basic stereo, manual seats and windows, etc.) can be as much as 200lbs lighter.

      I have a big encyclopedia hanging around that shows the weight for zero-option versions of pretty much every ford made up until 1990, I should post it sometime. There were crown vics that weighed as little as 3450.

      It is interesting though that there is barely any difference between coupe and sedan crown vics. My best guess is that there were some things that were standard on coupes but not crown vics, which meant the published numbers were, say, coupe with power windows but sedan without.

        well the door on the coupe is not exactly the lightest thing in the world. it should be the weight of about 1 and half of the doors on a sedan.

                  Try to find the link (posted here in a few places) to Motorcraft.com where you can look up a few original specs by VIN number. My '81 2-door was evidently 3460 pounds new.

                        Gvw is not your wieght. Gvw is the weight of the vehicle plus it's maximum load capacity. IIRC.

                        My 91 sedan with some junk removed is usually 3900 and some change

                              Go to a dump, scrap yard, weigh station etc. And put it on the scales, that's the only way to get the actual weight of your car
