I love that sticker , I couldn't remember who had it though .



That works until someone uses one to get $20,000 for an $8,000 car from somebody ....

If you have the whole original kit: badges, rocker cover carbs and manifold and put them on a 62 850, do you have a Sports 850 or a mockup?

Also, were any Sports 850's put together in 64?

Did the yellow sports850 fetch the $30k asking price?

I have never been a fan of replicas. If I really liked the look of the original sports version, be it an S or HO etc. I may do all the visuals and mechanicals, but never the badges. It just takes it a bit far for my liking, and as people have said, parts get stolen or prices get fudged when sold.
Each to their own, but not everyone is honest when making a sale..

Always been more of a fan of a stock looking 850, with a screamer donk

You have a mock up even if all the bits were original from another car , they were never sold as a kit with the badges that replaced the front and rear ones , only as a completed car that was converted by one of two dealers . There was a kit sold with a single round badge that fitted to the grille though .

I think they finished in 1963 but not exactly sure , would need to see the cars history to prove it's genuine . They are a lot harder to prove they are genuine than they are to prove they are fake .
