    I'm heading to an auction in a week or so and one of the things I am casually looking for is a Model T roadster cowl.
    Just so I don't get caught up in auction fever and overbid, what should one of these reasonably sell for in decent condition? (And I guess I'll also ask what they go for in excellent condition - I'm an optimist!)

    Please no "Whatever you'll pay for it" responses: I want to know the reasonable market value so I don't p*** up a bargain AND so I don't screw myself.
     
  2. I would not go over $100. You can still find bodies for $250. Doors are the kicker. Pay what you need to for a cherry door!

    Thanks Tman! Maybe I'll grab more than one. I didn't realize they were still affordable.

    I really don't think there is a difference between the roadster, touring, or RPU cowls? I've had a couple and the touring and roadster cowls I had looked exactly the same.
     
  6. Touring and roadster are teh same.

    Thanks for all the info. I wasn't worried about whether or not it was roadster, tourer, or RPU, but I'm glad to know they're all pretty much the same anyway.

    You betcha!
    I even called today to clarify the starting time (parts and memorabilia at 10am, cars probably around 1pm) and bidder registration.
    I'm getting excited about the auction, which means I will probably come home empty handed and complaining about the idiots bidding things too high!
