Lee,

What was the color on that one? Also, my insurance company is looking for an appraisal. Any suggestions on where to get an industry accepted #?

It was blck/blck....as far as appraisals, it depends on what your company requires. They may have a local guy, I know Volo Museum used to do them. They run $50-$100 usually, we only required them if they were more than 10$ over the ACV listed in Collector Car NADA or KBB

Dom,

I'm working a deal on mine - stated value policy, Looks to be approx $461/year with good coverage, towing, etc. etc. (not track coverage, how some ever...) no appraiser required. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in touch w/ my guy.

An Agreed Value policy guarantees the policy will pay the full insured amount of the vehicle with no depreciation in case of a covered total loss. A stated value policy does not promise upfront to pay this stated amount. In the event of a covered total loss, it may pay less than the stated amount, as the insurer has the right to pay the lesser of your collector car's depreciated actual cash value (ACV) or its replacement cost. Also, many insurers that offer stated value policies require periodic appraisals to substantiate the insured amount, adding cost and inconvenience to the client.

Ah! Good to know the semantics! I'll take that up with my insurance guy tomorrow, as drivin' time begins, soon as the salt dust is washed off the roads.

This is a great board. Thanks for the clarification!

That sucks, I guess the economy is worse than I thought it was or everyone is trying to steal the Z's. Oh well I plan to drive mine anyway, I didn't buy it for resale value anyway.

Dennis,

Thanks for the clarification.

Paul,

Keep me posted.

I bought mine because I wanted it...I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose money on this one. I actually almost broke even on my last LT1 6-spd. Drove the rear tires off it, through the rain, dirt parking lots, and whatever for a year and still got back all but $500 of my purchase price.

Maybe in 10 years- I've never kept a car that long though.
