With Fiberglas doors I will be surprised if you get $2500. Likely less.

I dunno about that. While I would want to see the O/P's body first before giving an exact value, -a new set of doors is less than $1,200.00, ...and a new Brookville Roadster body is almost $7,500.00. Spending $3,500.00 for a body and another $1,200 for doors still is a ways away from the price of a new body. If the original body has a tank, stanchions, windshield frame, etc., we quickly find it may be a bargain at $3.5k.

A very rusty body will be worth a lot less. A very clean and rust free body will be way up there. It always depends on condition and the bodies sold by Brookville definitely have an affect on the price of a good original one. Folks will pay more for a good original one. The fiberglass has an affect on originality so it will lower the price some. Check the price of Brookville doors at near $600 a pop and interested parties will use that against the overall price.

Folks that want it for a hot rod likely won't care about originality. Folks that want original will look for it and weigh the condition against the price.
