The cost of restro balanced against the current values makes it hard to correctly do one of these cars anymore. Oh well..... just makes the nice ones more desirable.

no you wouldn't...at least not at the right price. People like the clean, unmolested cars.

Thats the key I guess, the right price .

No different here Dave. Nessie's last insurance appraisal was 20K but I'd be hard pressed to get 1/2 that. Sad really but I expect the values would be better in Europe.

My appraisal came in at 12 thousand, go figure.

perfect example, that 440 yellow rag in AZ

Yeah, well both cars are reasonable, you need deeper pockets. Champagne taste and a beer budget, I know the feeling

When I went to insure my car with Hagerty, I was asked what was the car's value. I said does the rate change with the value? They said yes. So I said 35 hundred bucks hoping for the lowest rate. They said sorry, $5k is the lowest we'll let you go. I said OK. lol

You want to insure your car for the maximum value that your agent will agree to. Otherwise, if the car gets totaled you get 3500 bucks.

I may have been A dumb truck driver all my life but I also have two Engineering degrees. One in Aeronautical and one in Manufacturing Management. I full well understand how insurance works. After a semester in Statistics and a second semester of Advanced Statistics in which insurance actuarial tables are used extensively, you learn all too well how to understand insurance and how to beat them at their own game. I absolutely made the right (and only) decision. Resume the head slapping. lol.
