Classic Car Insurance
I have a 1967 442 I purchased a few years ago and have been restoring it over ther past few years. My insurance carrier gave me a historic car rate for the dollar amouont I paid for the car. I just had over $9K in engine and transmission rebuilt/upgrades. I called my carrier (a national company) and was told I have to get an appraisal. Not a big deal, just a hassle. I did look on line and found several companies, Classic Auto Ins, Hagerty Leland East, and JC Taylor. The problem is I have never dealt with any of these before. I also save a few bucks. It appears they only ask for what you want to ensure it for. Suggestions?

I use Hagerty. Hope I never have to make a claim to see how good they really are.

Both my dad and I use hagerty. Unfortunalty, we've had to make a few claims over the years, never too bad. But even when you make a claim they are nice, helpful, and consloing. They are more affectionate when your car gets hurt then some doctors when they tell you you are going to die.
Also, they have cheap rates and an agreed value. Normally the agreed value is a mix of book value and what you have invested. Or, if you have receipts, what you have invested. (Price of car + resto)
