Pre-L models are 125-130 lbs lighter than L models with their big rubber coated steel front bumper and dual hydraulic rams on each end of both bumpers F & R. U.S. models also had maybe 40 lbs of chassis stiffening and splash panels as well that Euro '71s didn't have. Before I started in on lightening our '72-1/2 L, it weighed 3250 lbs with 10 gallons of fuel, and that included an aluminum intake manifold & 351-HO aluminum valve covers (as-received mods).
