Insurance: Classic vs. regular vs. ????
I think all insurance companies will allow a special appraised value on
any car. Must have photos and proper accredited appraisal and your rates are adjusted accordingly just like you had a 30,000 new vehicle. It will take some prompting at your average agents. Dodgeboy.

I don't know of any classic insurance carrier that will do
that but I suggest you contact you current carrier to see if they offer an 'added value' clause for your current coverage. Generally they will allow extra coverage for options that add to the value, at an additional premium rate. mike hunt Joshua Nelson wrote: > > Is there any company which will insure a car for agreed value and > still let you use it as a daily driver? > > My situation is that I have a 20 year old jeep which has about $25,000 > worth of performance and off road modifications on it.

Get it appraised ,call your insurance person and ask for a Stated Value
Policy some will write it some will not being a highly modified off road vehicle you may have a problem as those are both high risk .
