You may want to look into Grundy... call this #: 800-338-4005 They have
very reasonable rates, using an agreed value... You tell them what you want
the car insured for, and that's the value they'll insure it for... They are
VERY reputable, and big... .Lots of old car guys use them.... I give them 2
thumbs up..

Good Luck,

Kevin

Try State Farm. They have a very reasonable and competative rate
for classic cars. Been with them for years with no suprises.

Steve did you ever have a claim with them for a totaled car ? I have heard
stories about how they payoff and it hasn't been good. About their house
insurance also, personally I'd steer clear of them.

State Farm are a bunch of convicted price gougers. Do a Google search
and put in "price gouge" and "State Farm". The results will be
enlightening about their nationwide business practices, and how often
they have been caught price gouging for both auto and home insurance.

They gladly took my premiums for a decade. When I had a no fault claim
that totaled a car, it was necessary to get a lawyer involved before
they paid off on what the claim was legitimately worth. They dragged
the process out for 3 months.

With all the competition out there, there is just no reason to set your
self up for a hassle with an insurer that has a track record of price
gouging (NJ assessed a multi-million dollar fine for price gouging here)
and a claim adjustment process which requires a lawyer to get a claim
fairly paid.

Check out Hagerty or other reputable insurers of classic and vintage
vehicles. Ask for feedback from people who have claims experience with
the insurers. They are all good when it comes to collecting premiums:
What really counts is how they respond to a claim.

p.s. - I have 4 vintage vehicles on my Hagerty policy. Their rates and
terms of use are very good. No claim experience to share.

Terry,
No, I never have had a claim. I've been with them for 20+ years so far.
After hearing some of the comments here maybe I should do a bit more
research.

Thanks for the comments!

Neither Jon. The car has been modified heavily from it's stock
configuration. My agent tells me the car is "modified" and it's insured for
the value I've placed on the car. State Farm's only stipulation was that I
get a professional evaluation of the car, and I had to take 4 pictures,
front, back and both sides.
