Cars are as individual as people are. Every-one is different. If it's stock, most likely between 3200-3300 pounds.

My old 89 notch T5 tipped the scales at 3240 with me in it and a 1/4 tank of fuel, the 88 in my sig comes in at 3165 with me in it and about a half tank of gas.

My 88 Notch tipped the scales @ Oneal's Feed at 3120 with me in it. Me @ 300lbs and nearly a full tank of gas. I have full interior minus radio. No A/C, smog or power steering.

Yea I have no a/c, p/s, it is carbed, has newer model seats(96/97ish) and they are 12lbs lighter combined than the stock fox body seats. It has manual windows and locks.
