Tin-man needs to get insurance for his SPF Cobra, suggestions?
My current, soon to be nixed, insurance company, Travelers, turned me down flat when I asked them to provide minimum insurance for my SPF Cobra, they said they don't provide insurance for "kit cars". Problem is in Arizona the state requires a minimum amount of insurance before you can drive. I am self insured but the cops don't buy that, so need a piece of paper saying I have minimum coverage, anyone have suggestions? I would be gratefull for any and all suggestions, thanks. tin-man:CRY:

Tin-Man
I use this company only because they had it covered with the previous owner and it was easy. Only about $300 a year but your car will be a bit higher based on it's value. http://www.heacockclassic.com/ By the way, your car is not a "kit car". |

All of your answers are in this thread. Call Robbin at Classic...I saved over $400/yr moving from Allstate, have guaranteed replacement value coverage and more miles/yr. Great to work with, too. -Dean #747 |
Call Classic, Antique & Hot Rod Insurance; www.gotinsurance.com 485-483-5758 or 800-683-1165 fax 425-483-2016; Tom Foltz owner Agent. Northwest Insurance. Ca License. I had him left and went back to him. Get the Metlife Auto and tell him I recomended him. Maybe I will get a can of cookies... Think I pay $400+ Value 75,000

do you know off hand how many miles a year you are allowed with that policy?
|
5-7500. Have to look at policy but you never drive more then that on average year to year.
|
YOU never drive more than that. Some of us however...:):)
Mike I use Mike at northeast classics. |
Thanks fitz. My ins. co. only allows 2500 a year. I am looking to put on much closer to 7500.
thanks again. I gave Tom Foltz a call to see if I can get that insurance in Mass. Have a good weekend. |

Grundy Worldwide
I have both my snakes insured with Grundy Worldwide - Collector Car Insurance. For $458 annually on the Cobra I get unlimited mileage; $50,000 liability, uninsured motorist, and underinsured motorist; $1,000 medical payments; $31,500 declared value collision and comprehensive with zero deductable. There are some use restrictions (work, shopping, competitive racing events, etc.), but nothing you would probably use a recreational/collector vehicle for anyway.

I have Condon-Skelly and it is the same coverage as our everyday autos, cost is for 5 to 7000 miles a year and replacement cost our your own value.You must take 6 pictures of the car, front , back , and both sides , interior and engine. Cost is 244.00 a year. Phone # 1 800 257 9496.

I use these guys: http://www.americancollectors.com/ No mileage restrictions, 300K/300K/100K uninsured motorist(which you have to have in AZ), towing , rental cars, underinsured motorist (see above) etc. agreed value on my Mustang of $40k - $130 / yr, agreed value on my vette $50K $278/yr when I had my tupperware Cobra it was $250/yr @ $45K. They pay when you smash your car, ask Karlos... Very easy, you need a locking garage and at least one modern car for every collector car... min age is 25. I did have my SPF car on Allstate for a while , but this is way cheaper . Allstate does not take replicas in any case - my car was titled as an AC Cobra by a previous owner.. |
SPF isn't a kit car.
Nope. It's just a kit car that you didn't build.... ;) |
Gonna be some hurt feelings out there!

Yo Maricopa, you know how to hurt a guy huh? Well look at it this way, I finally figured out where to put the gas and engine oil, starting the car was a little more difficult since I thought it was voice activated, lol. Must looked like a complete idiot standing there yelling at the beast to start. Some guy who drove an Orange Chebby asked me if I was given a set of keys and he showed me how to start it. Me build, I don't think so, I am too old, can't see, have zero patience, but do love Cobra's. So I made the ultimate sacrifice and decided to have somebody better qualified than me build it.tin-man
