1) 2800 lbs..........2) 3200 lbs..........3) 3500 lbs......or.......4) 4000 lbs

I'll guess at 2800 lbs which is around what a Jag XKE weighs.

Sorry Paul, answer #1, 2800 lbs, is incorrect!

I wasn't going to answer this one, because I do not know.  Since you called out to me, I will say 3) 3500#, to cover the weight of an Avanti.

Gary's still trying to differentiate potatos from potatas!

Potatas -- Latin. Participle. pōtātās. accusative feminine plural of pōtātus

I do not believe that you will find either one in a dictionary.

EDIT: the plural of potato is potatoes.
