I know this may seem silly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
But, what happens when you go to renew your tag and your insurance and your car has been converted from a -4 to -6? For my insurance, they usually ask the manufacture, year of the car, and then the model. They have rates for a 1975 4 cylinder 1.8L in their database. Same thing with our tag agency. What's going to happen when I renew my insurance (obviously for more than it is now) and I renew my tag? Are they going to say... "We don't show a listing for a six-cylinder 914 in 1975!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I guess it's really no different than someone stuffing an 8-cylinder into their six-cylinder muscle car. Has anyone with conversions had any problems or hassles with the "conversion" issue? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hanged.gif) Thanks! |

Get it surveyed by an auto appraiser and then submit the results to the insurance company.
If you do not have a stated value policy, you should..... |

Thanks for reminding me about that...I bet my 914 is way underinsured now. IIRC the big insurers pin a max value on a 914/4 of barely $4-5K (if you're lucky). I was very close to having my ravenna car "totaled" in what was really just a fender bender; no tub or mechanical damage at all. Scary.

What mikez said. I use stated value on all my obscure P-cars. (ok, both of them -- it just sounds HUGE if you say "all" :-) )
