<VV> insurance question (not Corvair specific)

[Andy Clark]

My '66s are insured with Haggerty, who specialize in collector car
insurance.

If I remember correctly, $20,000 declared value full coverage costs about
$120 per year. $10,000 was $60. No limit on miles, but the car cannot be
used for daily transportation.

If this works for you, it's hard to beat. You can also try J. C. Taylor and
Grundy. They all have websites where you can get on-line quotes.

Haggerty seems to be the company of choice in the old car club to which I
belong.

Subject: <VV> insurance question (not Corvair specific)


I was lucky a year ago when my insurance company let me add my '66 Corvair
to my policy with full coverage.  Then last week when I bought another '66 I
called my agent and was told that they don't (or won't) do full coverage on
classic cars.  If I have a theft or the car is totaled, they only pay blue
book value.  He then told me that they have an affiliate insurance company
that they use to insure classics and transferred me.  That agent told me
that requirements for coverage are a limit on miles and that the cars must
be kept in a locked garage.  Well my Corvairs are daily drivers and I have
no garage so I'm sunk.  While I have the legal requirement for insurance on
both Corvairs, I want insurance that will cover a theft or total loss.  Does
anyone have any recommendations?
