valuation for insurance, 3.2 in a 1972 Options

[worn]

I think I asked it before but now it is time to pull the trigger cause the car is coming off jack stands. 3.2 conversion with new floor and firewall panels, no rust for real and down to bare metal. Alu 911S brakes up front, full 911 suspension with 5 lugs. Added the wiper mod for intermittent and electric pump. New paint and glass. rebuilt 901 gearbox with tall 4th and 5th. Steel fuel lines, new brake lines and 19 mm master. Etcetera....

What would it cost me to find another like it? Well, I have my own personal tweaks, but I would accept similar in nice condition. Ball park? Cause that is the goal of the insurance - replacement with something similar.
Thanks and please chime in for me.

Do yourself a favor & get a pro appraisal by somebody familiar with 914s, then have it updated every few years, since the values tend to go up with collector cars over time - not depreciate as with new & late model ones (a reputable appraiser should tell you if you don't need to update yet - esp. if it's the same appraiser).

Also have your receipts & pix of work to give to the appraiser to substantiate the work.

BTW - Hagerty will also insure your parts stash on your policy, so receipts will value those too.

If you plan to drive it more than a little, then Grundy Leland West & maybe others will insure you for that too (IIRC Hagerty limits you to 3000 mi/yr or so & no commuting/DD).

IIRC Hagerty & most will want to inspect your garage as well (or wherever it will be parks/stored).

Good Luck & enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
