Well Dorothy (Steve & Mikey's) old 850 thats been restored is on the market for around 13K, so yes to your question.

Before I clicked the link I knew that was the car you were talking about :lol: .
But I have to say I don't agree with you, what he's done is modify it in such a way that it can very easily be returned to original so I don't think it's ruined just customised, and he did try and trade it for something else for some time before he carried out those modifications :wink: , and it wasn't original either.

But back to the topic of 850 values I'd say for a top notch one, around 10k :? .

Just expressing my opinion.

850's are worth money if they're immaculate, original or modified with original 60's equipment.

i'll streetrod my clubby, but my 850 will be a restoration.
