He is talking GVM, normally its on the ID plates on a car, I don't know if old cars would have this though (Never looked)

 

Quote from Wiki cause I'm lazy

 

"The gross vehicle weight rating (also gross vehicle mass, GVWR, GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer^[1] including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers.^[2] The term are used for motor vehicles and sometimes also for trains."

What Stenzel said regarding GVW.

 

The owners manual is the booklet that Toyota give you telling you how the car works. I suspect Toyota know how heavy it is.

 

As said, the weight of the car is 730 or 745kg depending on which transmission is fitted. And since the booklet was printed in about 1968, I suspect it wasn't weighed with a KE70 transmission in it.
