This is a tough one because different books state different weights. I have a factory publication that states the "EMPTY" weight of the cars as follows:
912 (all): 970 kg
911S ('67-68): 1030 kg
911/911L/911T ('65-68): 1080 kg
911T/911E/911S ('69-71): 1020 kg
911T ('72-73): 1050 kg
911E/911S ('72-73): 1075 kg
RS ('73 Touring): 1075 kg
Conversion: lbs = kg x 2.2046
Many things will change these weights, such as Targa, A/C, Aux. heater, CIS vs MFI vs Carbs, etc. I don't think that the factory ever published true numbers for every situation, but these are pretty close.

At least for some years, the factory used wts. as per a DIN spec. That spec. apparently changed over the years. There have been posts on this on Pelican and maybe Early 911 BBS. Here is what I copied from a European poster:
in Germany when the car manufacturer states weight in the car documentation than they calculate like this:
Car with no option + average weight of a driver (68 kg) + 7 Kg add. weight (for tools, etc....) + 90% of a full tank.
In the earlier years (80s, 90s...) they just considered car weight with no options + average weight of the driver + 100% full tank.
[image of table from original post did not come thru]
the current valid DIN-Norm is: DIN 70020
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leergewicht (sorry is in German)
in the ‘60s and ‘70s they calculated as far as I know with 100% full tank
and 75 Kg driver.
The only difference 60s, 70s and now is the 10% gas and the definition
of the average weight of the driver.
-- complicated enough?
AND... two cars equipped exactly the same way, will still vary somewhat due to manufacturing tolerances.
PS - I have never seen a true dry wt. .....
