I found this 14 body on tbay and was wondering what you guys thought and might guess what the final price will be...

I'll bet it goes pretty high. My guess is over $5K
You can not tell on Ebay what some fool will bid. They sold a Neville steering wheel for $650.00 a couple of years ago. I bid $2,000.00 on a 14 T body at an auction in Missouri about 10 years ago and did not get it.
My guess would be somewhere slightly over $4,000.00 but who knows????
Complete with a bullet hole from where the farmer was shooting at the guy he caught with his daughter or wife in the hay rack
Nice looking body. Price is getting up there without meeting the reserve! I'd guess over $5K as well. I wonder if the frame segment goes with the body?
By posting the link to it here you have assured the buyer will get top dollar. I think it is worth more like $6500 but that's just a guess.
I always wonder when we see something so great as this, is where the rest of it.
My guess is the engine was made into a treshing machine power plant and the chassis into a haywagon, both long gone..? This body was luckily stored inside after being pulled off - most were thrown outside in the back lot and got totally wasted over the years.
I hope Royce is right. But i don't think it will sell..But I hope it does sell and sells for a high price.
She's stalled at $3500... Just wait till closing time!
Four days left guys...I say $6K will get it!

The seller just announced in an answer to a question that the reserve is $4750. A 1913 touring body sold on ebay in 2008 for about $4500. I agree with Royce that it is probably worth more than $6000. I have a 1914 chassis and it is just what I was looking for. But these are hard times. I have a few pieces original sheet metal and brackets. So, I will probably build a body for my car.

Are you hoping for a bid so you don't have to make a trip to Forest City?
It sold for $4950
I will be going to Forest City, unless I can talk someone else in picking it up for me.
Whew! Bill, Mike H. saved our happy homes! I was worried you'd have to sell your Mighty Metro!
NO I was going to re-body it
