That's because of the "massive" engine it's got in there.

Thanks for the breakdown Torch_Vert!

In a nutshell, it is approximately 120-130 lbs. more with a convertible top, compared to a hard top.

That weight difference is due in part to the extra structural support and bracing to keep the vert from flexing or breaking in half without a hard roof. I remember the 60's models having a real problem with body sag, doors not closing right, etc. Guess they are trying to keep that from happening.
