1973 Duster unladden weight?

Well i went to DMV today and as expected they gave me a hard time cause the weight i put was wrong. I went with like 3221 for an oddball # and since there was no weight on the title they had to looki it up and they listed it at like a little over 2800. Also 73 was the first year for titles, so they had a problem looking up the VIN in the computer, and the guy was telling me that i had to "trace" the Vin off the plate on the dash using a pencil to rub it on a piece of paper! I hadent hearsd anything like it, he said that there was a wrong # or one missing, but the title stated it clearly, and i checked it with the title when i bought the car!! This guy was ready to send me away after i waited an HOUR AND A HALF! Thankfully he asked a supervisor if he could do it and thank god she said yes, man what a hassle, but im legal now, and i went from there to pick up my Welds and sticky Mickys, 275 60R 15, now mounted and balanced, they look JUICY. In a day or two itll be off to the shop to install them and other goodies!!!!
