    I need an educated guess on the weight of a Dino coupe absent doors, suspension, engine/transmission, glass, interior, electrics, etc.. Basically I am seeking the weight of the monocoque and frame. Everything else has been removed. Trying to determine the weight-handling capacity of a rotisserie.

    Curb weight without passengers or fuel per factory specification is 2850 pounds.

    Thanks for your help.

    wheels and tires. Tires 31 lbs each if MWX wheels 11 lbs each.

    Seats, door panels, carpet, total about 100 lbs.

    I'll post more as I dig it out.

    Engine 300 lbs

    Since none of the pros chimed in, i'll throw in my .02 cents for fun

    Engine and transmisssion,
    linkages 700lbs
    Wheels 140lbs
    Suspension,calipers,
    Shocks 180lbs
    Glass 100lbs
    Electrics, lights, wiring 65lbs
    Seats, carpet, insulation,
    sound deadening, consoles 210 lbs
    Steering assembly, rack 125lbs
    Fuel tanks, misc items
    brake reservior,radiator 150lbs
    Exhaust 65lbs
    Doors 75lbs each 150lbs

    Thats a total of 1885lbs, I am sure I missed something also but that leaves
    965 lbs


    Happy Holidays

    Great input - thanks. A few comments.

    Doors without glass, interior trim, electric window motors, etc., do not seem to weight 75 pounds each. With these item 75 pounds may be reasonable. However, that implies glass is being counted twice.

    Windshield, rear window, side quarter windows, etc., do not appear to weigh 100 punds. Engine with transmission seems to weigh more than 300 pounds.

    Radiator, fans, fluid, expansion tank, heater boxes, etc., brake vacuum assist, likely weigh around the 150 pounds cited.

    Thanks. All estimates appreciated.
