Re: Our Classic Car Insured Values

[Christopher Kroncke <g2c808@xxxxxxxxx>]

 my 63 is insured for $50,000 thru Hagerty . cost me $832 a year . I also think I should up it, but it goes up $50 for every $10,000 from here. Just my 2 cents worth.

So I was watching the show Fantomworks this last weekend and something made me wonder. They has a 64 GTO that was hit in the LF fender, and the right side door & quarter with damage to the A & B pillars. The insurance company totaled out the car "sight unseen" and it was insured for $65K. The shop spent ~$62K to fix it.

So my question is...are we placing too low a value on our cars especially in the event of an accident? Hell...I just went to a local reputable shop that does restorations and just to paint my 65 Coronet 'vert and do any minor body work necessary was going to be $12K-$14K! If I were to wreck it, I'm sure it would be close to if not totaled, and I have it insured for ~$32K.

Should we all call our insurance companies and bump up our agreed values? Thoughts?
