Question Which insurance company offers Full Coverage for my 1966 Mustang?

Today I got a quote from Hagerty for my chevelle of $164.00 per year premium.
Agreed value OF $15,000
Plus the other minimum legal requirements

I also got an E-mail from Grundy and for the same $15K Agreed value and $500K Liability the premium is $250.00 a year.

What is in the numbers?
The $100.00 plus deference is not of any concern ONLY the benefits and coverage.
Talk to me people.

I called my regular Ins. company they said that they can give me full cover. So I asked them what they would use as a value guide for my car and they said "we use N.A.D.A and other factors" and naturally I asked "what are the other factors?" and I couldn't get a straight answer to the question. She kept on saying that the N.A.D.A would be a close guide along with other factors I then asked again “what are the other factors?

The bottom line is that she couldn't or didn't want to tell me what the other factors are and just insisted that N.A.D.A would be a close guide to the value.
So I am still desperately shopping for INS for my car.

The part that gets me is that with so many classics and hot rods on road and so little responses on this topic.
Is it just me that wants to drive my car and the rest of the world has garage furniture?
Or
Are they just chancing it with Grundy’s and Hagerty’s very restrictive coverage?

Today I am going to call my Ins. company again and see if I get another agent that might have specific answers to my questions

BTW the quote was $1200.00 a year.

To drive it without restrictions would require carrying regular full coverage through a normal car insurance company.

The problem with that is, they'll use the N.A.D.A. guide or Kelly Blue Book to value your car, both books are typically way off when it comes to older Mustangs for several reasons.

Here's a few good reasons not to stick with regular full coverage:

1. The books don't take into account region or market value (my 1987 Mustang convertible had full coverage on it, somebody backed into it and did $3000 worth of damage, book value was $1500... car totalled (I kept it anyway) what REALLY sucked was that I had a buyer that had offered me $5000 for the car two days before the wreck and showed up the day after and didn't want it anymore.)

2. The insurance company won't take any modifications into account unless you've got receipts (this sucked for me because I'd built up my '87 on a budget, trading work for parts, buying used parts where it didn't matter (headers, H-pipe, etc.) and bought pieces on Ebay at substantial discounts compared to the actual value of the parts.

3. They can, and will, use any modifications against you if they can. In another situation where a St. Bernard had jumped out of the pickup in front of me on the Interstate, the insurance company refused to replace my wrecked H-pipe because it wasn't a street-legal piece. In fact, they refused to fix or replace the street-legal exhaust components that were damaged too just because of that H-pipe.

If you go with a classic car insurer like Grundy or Hagerty, you'll be restricted from certain usages of your vehicle, but if some jackass backs into it in a parking lot, or some idiot runs a redlight, or some dummy on a cell phone rear-ends you, you'll actually get what the car is worth back.

Trust me, as soon as my '76 Ghia is restored to a certain point, she's going on Hagerty. I've got liability only right now because paying the extra $1000/month for full coverage simply would not do me one bit of good from my prior experience.

My Dad uses them for his cars. He is very happy.
