Re: [T3] weight?


According to my "Service Without Guesswork" booklet the weights for a 64
Notch are as follows:

Unladen Weight   -   2193 lbs
Payload                 -  1014 lbs
Max Total Weight  -  3206 lbs


These numbers are all substantially higher than earlier models.  As a matter
of interest the specs for pre Aug 62 cars are:

Unladen Weight   -   1896 lbs
Payload                 -   860 lbs
Max Total Weight  -  2756 lbs

I can't really figure out why the cars would have gotten heavier as the
years wore on or why the payload would have increased, maybe someone can
throw a little light on this for us...  Anyway, according to "The Volkswagen
1600 Guide" by Bill Stone the dry weight of a 66 Fasty is 2028 lbs.  I guess
after all this we still don't know what your car weighs but it's probably
somewhere between  2000 and 2200 lbs.
