Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #30 – July 19, 2006, 06:33:14 PM Seems like you got a pretty good price there. So is your insurance going to go up after you submit the paper work? If so how much more? I was thinking about getting mine appraised sometime soon but I'm going to have to check with my insurance company to make sure they will still cover a modified car.

Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #31 – July 19, 2006, 07:12:12 PM With the old "normal" insurance on the TC I would pay $800/year for third party liability (500K), collision or upset (300 deductible), and comprehensive (100 deductible). The new "Special Interest" insurance I'll have third party liability (1million), collision or upset (100 deductible), and comprehensive (100 deductible). The only thing is the car now is an occasional use vehicle. It should only cost about $150 on a $5000 appraised car. Quote Selected

Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #33 – July 21, 2006, 11:15:26 AM Hey Thats great Paul...( I'll send that bill now for the difference in price you paid) :When you do a couple of little things here and there(such as repaint the rear bumper), you probably should submit pictures to the insurance co. to show them you are improving the cars condition...

Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #34 – July 21, 2006, 11:58:37 AM I think you're SOL on that Tom! That's another benifit about getting the appraisal; I've had it confirmed where the car needs attention. Quote from: TurboCoupe50you probably should submit pictures to the insurance co. to show them you are improving the cars condition...I was wondering if I could do that or if I had to get the car reappraised?

Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #36 – July 22, 2006, 07:22:46 PM QuoteWhat type of coverage is that?QuoteThe only thing is the car now is an occasional use vehicle. Limited mileage allowed per year, not to be used for this, that, and the other thing, etc.Kind of like collector plates, I guess, where your Model T must be maintained in excellent condition, only driven in parades, on Sundays, or for special events, must be kept in a climate-controlled garage, that sort of thing.And here's the Newfieland "Antique Vehicle" rules (quite similar)...[COLOR="Red"]In this Province an "antique vehicle" is: a vehicle that is 25 years of age or older, maintained as nearly as possible with original component parts; certified by the Newfoundland Antique and Classic Car Club, and owned as a collector item; operated solely for use in exhibitions, Club activities, parades, and other similar functions; and used for occasional family pleasure but, in no event, for general transportation or business purposes.[/COLOR] Quote Selected

Third party liability (1million), collision or upset (100 deductible), and comprehensive (100 deductible). I got the coverage through www.garysteevesinsurance.com The Coverage is underwritten by Elite Insurance Company. They even have a policy for modified street cars at a slightly higher premium. My insurance is called "Silver Wheel Plan - Special Interest" for vehicles 15-24 years old and the custom car insurance is called "Custom Wheel Plan"My 87 is not considered an antique yet but when it's 25 years old the premium will drop.

Got the t-bird appraised today Reply #39 – September 09, 2006, 03:07:56 PM We have the same thing here in Ontario (underwritten by Elite) except it's offered through Lant Insurance Brokers.I'm switching mine over to the Custom Wheel plan for next year.My coverage won't be any cheaper than what I currently pay but the car will be covered for the full appraisal amount in case something ever happened (knock on wood) unlike my current situation which would give book value which wouldn't even cover the cost of the wheels.
