That should be pretty close to the correct range ... 3140lb for my 351W hatchback with some CBII parts and no back seat.
Wont do you any good in a side impact situation, but a major weight loss would be removing the impact beam in the doors.I am hoping to be less then 3000 but we will see I will have to weigh it when I get it running. The car is stripped no fiberglass panels yet I will do that later on. My wife says I should lose weight not the car.
I will keep that in mind about the doors great idea. I hear the bumpers are heavy also I have never had one off yet.
3140lb was with me off the scale trying to peek in the window to read the weight.

i scaled my king several years back. came in at 3016 without driver. keep in mind it is not stock. there have been a slew of the typical mods made to the car.
weight includes ssm bars, subs and full interior.
typical changes are the wheels/tires, tubular front arms, no spare tire or jack, lots of aluminum in the engine bay, including the heads and manifold, headers and no ac. stripped out most of the componets that are not needed under the dash and engine compartment.
i have a ton of time scraping away the factory sound deading material under the carpet. not sure of the composition of the material (seems to have a tar like consistancy) but it took 32lbs out of the car. stuff covered the tunnel, under the seats, the foot boxes and near the spare wheel tub.
i need to go through my backup disk at home to find the certificate. as soon as i track it down i will post. i posted it quite few years ago. not sure if that thread is still around.
how about a coupe ? are they lighter. I have one 351 windsor. sound deadner removed. and I am going to buy glass bumpers because mine look like a fat ladys ass. I found them at mas for 75.00 each. I also removed all the air stuff and heater blower etc. manual steering and brakes. weld draglites. frame connectors
