Found this in a garage in Northern Ontario. It's a 1929 chassis with an all steel body. Stored for 45 years its part of an estate sale. The body is supposed to be by Strauss. Has anyone see this before? Also what is it worth? Thanks.

Even though it looks fairly decent compared to alot of the weird speedsters you see, I don't think it's worth a whole lot more than a running chassis. Looks like the body is wood, if so I wouldn't pay more than about $3,500 for it. If the body was all formed out of steel and nicely finished I would value it at about $5-6,000.

The body is steel including the floor pan under and behind the seat. The engine is running but I did not drive it.

That is a 30 31 roadster cowl. That would be the most expensive part on it in my mind.
