Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
What is the reason they are giving not to cover the car. Is it the coverage you purchased? Over the mileage allowance if you have one of those policies?
I know you need to be careful and make sure the reason is accurate if you post it but it could help others that go after insurance for their cars to know what to ask what is covered and not covered.
I know that my insurance is the same as the rest of my cars. Same company which has always been great and I have had accidence with the other cars. The only difference is it is a classic with a declared value (I declare the value) does have limited mileage restrictions each year but no other restrictions. Which is good because I only have a carport so I could not event think about some of the other insurances.
As I do more to the car I raise the value to about $5,000 more than I think it would take to replace it so I know I can get another one. SafeCo is my company I purchased it through a local broker.

Vette(s): 1982 corvette crossfire production numer C5101985. Color is silver and claret. All original numbers match. slight mods to crossfire for better efficiancy and power balanced and added fuel pressure assembly between throttle bodies,
update
So I took the vette in to a local tire shop and had them put it in the air to visually inspect the damage and maybe get an alignment done.
All 4 ball joints need replaced as well as the drivers side tie rod.
Steering components are ok. cosmetic damage to oil pan, tranny pan and flexplate cover.
The rear wheel bearings need re-done as well/
I ordered a suspention rebuild kit from ecklers and am gonna do it myself. I aint paying 85.00 an hour for something I can do myself.
I really lucked out all the way around.
Am on the hunt for 1 american eagle rim 15x7 style #146 if anyone has one extra or can find one let me know.
