AAA offered to come by and appraise my car so I can switch from the "normal" car insurance I currently have on my 914 to classic car insurance for the stated value.
I have AAA for all my insurance, so I'm not interested in going elsewhere at this time. Car is not painted an official Porsche color. It's "Shiny Primer Gray". I did not paint the engine bay or area around the gas tank. The original color was Metallic Silver. All new rubber seals, top has been painted and texture-coated with Wurth's, bumpers are re-chromed, engine is stock 1.7L (the only mod is Pertronix ignition), I have a side-shift transmission and recently re-built the transmission, interior is nice, except I have a dash cover hiding some cracks. I have later doors. Heater works, too! I've posted some pics. Let me know what you think I should use for stated value. |

I thought this would be much easier. Sigh...
I see why they want more cars in the house than drivers, but this is a "classic" car, not some beater; I'm not letting anyone drive this, and when I drive it, it's for events and fun. My daughter can't even drive a stick! In the unlikely event that one of her friends convinces her to take it for a spin, I'll report it as stolen. The 914 is not an "alternative vehicle", either; it's my hobby/project/toy/midlife crisis. My other cars are all older than 5 years (2008 and 2011). They are well-taken car of. They both have around 150K miles on them, but I'd take them on a road trip with no worries at all. I realize the insurance companies might not care about maintenance, but it seems like it's something they should at least take into account. I guess I'll make some phone calls to the companies recommended in this post and see what they say. You've all given my good advice about what to ask ands look out for. thanks for the he (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) lp and input! Anybody have any experience with Safeco? |
