That's not my understanding, either Haggerty or Grundy allows unlimited mileage, I just don't remember which one.
Well I guess you need to look deeper than listening to the commercials. Both are just as you say Craig, they say unlimited but hide the true meaning in foot notes.
I have my Jaguar under Haggerty for the last several years. It is not an issue. I put 2,500 on it since 2008. I have a company car that is good only during work hours. The Maverick has been my daily driver for 30+ years. Lately, with the company car, I put around 2,500 miles a year on the Maverick, just to the store and around town. Maybe I'll get my fat butt to the gym again. Haggerty said no because I potentially put too many miles on it and took it to the store too many times. They fear parking lots. Grundy said maybe, if I owned the company car and insured it, the Maverick and the Jaguar with them. Can't do that. So, no policy there either. State Farm has insured the Maverick since 1981. They have a classic policy but limit it to 2,000 miles. With regular coverage, they will agree that it is worth $25,000 and not the appraised $45,000, which still doesnt come close to what I have in it. I just want to drive the Maverick like I always have and hopefully not lose my ass if some texting nit wit runs into me. It is not like I'm going to crash it on purpose for the insurance check.

American Modern Insurance lets you choose your mileage 1000, 3000, 6000 or unlimited with an agreed value. I chose 3000/year with a $12,000 replacement value but the great thing is they never asked me what my odometer reading was when I bought the policy!
Sorry your car got bent there. For the battery apron sheet metal, it may be worth investigating a 69-70 Mustang panel. Mine needs replacing and pictures posted at CJs Pony Parts lead me to believe that Ford recycled this panel into our cars. I am knee-deep in remodeling our kitchen, so I have also been waiting for a sale there, and plan to buy this reproduced part and see how close it actually is to what goes in a Mav/Comet. Sounds like you need it now. I would be very interested in your feedback if you do follow through on this.
Grundy has said that they will fix my car. I am now looking for a body shop to do the work. The appraiser thinks the apron and radiator support will just need pulling. I think it will take more than that but I'll let the body shop deal with it. Captain Comet, I also was thinking that a mustang fender apron might work in place of the Maverick's. I found this shop here in town but every time there not much is going on. http://mejane68.wix.com/rt66ponyworks Anyone live in or near Albuquerque, NM that has any recommendations for a body shop?
I found that ...Classic Mustang Restoration shops...won't mess with a Maverick around here. the ones around here will not even sell parts that fit a Maverick... JMO
This is the battery apron piece that I am looking at ... http://www.cjponyparts.com/battery-fender-apron-rt-shock-tower-to-rad-support-1969-1970/p/M316/ CJs also sells a generic kit for 65-73, but it isn't shaped the same. What got my attention with this one is the way it is formed at the top, with that indent, like ours.
Here is a much better picture since you didn't see it before the accident. I'll be getting another hood from you once the car starts coming back together.
I called Nationwide "My insurance company" for 34 years until I needed them - I left them in a heartbeat over a 260 dollar claim and went to State Farm - I guess they are all the same
they are the same they will stall as long as possible i just go with whoever is cheaper right now it's state farm but in a couple of years it will be aarp and Hartford lol
