Default Newbie to ZR1, need insurance info

Howdy!

Am in the process of buying a '90 ZR1.
While researching ZR1s, I saw a posting somewhere in a ZR1 forum (maybe here, maybe elsewhere, dont' remember) about how to cheat cheaper insurance.
If anyone remembers this thread, I'd appreciate a link.
Allstate quoted me $2200 a year, seems a little excessive for a 45 year old male, no tickets, one accident (which drops off in April). It won't be a daily driver, just warm sunny Sundays and car shows. ;-)
About my new toy, she's Red with Beige interior, 3500 all original, unmolested miles.

Any hints, tips, info appreciated.

I pay $750 full coverage for a year, no restrictions for my 90 w/30K miles
I am 30, no tickets or accidents...

$2200!!!?? :shock:

You could try State Farm, I think they have a restricted plan (can't drive to work, and only 3K miles max a year)

Hello Tom, and welcome to the forum.

Collector car insurance is the way to go for a ZR-1 in that condition. As Bans said, there may be a few restrictions, but the price is right.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Not to high jack a thread (sorry) but I am also brand new. I was quoted $2100 a year and am 35 with only one ticket and no points lost. Has anyone heard of anything in Canada? The car is a sunday cruiser since I am not allowed to drive it to work since I work for a competing manufacturer.

I work for Nissan Canada and yeah I get free demo's, Gas, Insurance etc so it wouldn't be overly appreciated for me to show up in a ZR1 on a daily basis LOL.

I may be able to get insurance from Lant insurance which does specialty insurance but it has to be a minimum of 15 years to qualify so technically I would expect that 1990 should meet the 15 age minimum requirement. If so it should save me approximately $1200 a year at least I would think. Problem is you are really restricted on the use of the vehicle.
