You can't compare a 73-74 grabber price to a 72? Alot of times the hood alone is worth more than a whole 74. Don't settle for that and if they try and pay you that don't cash the check, fight for it.
Agreed-value collector car insurance is your friend. Had the same thing happen many years ago before I knew about collector car insurance. Guy hit me, did $1300 damage to my Maverick. Book value was only $700 so they totaled my car and gave me the $700. I told the insurance company my seats cost more than that! Then I had to pay them $115 or so to get my car back. Lesson learned.
I just got insurance for a 1972 Maverick I have big $ into. I was told the best I could get was $10K for a nice Maverick. Ughhh, way short. I begged and he said $15K or an appraisal for anything more (which he said I probably would not get). I weaseled into 20K by calling it a muscle car for more $. Anyway, 10K should be a minimum for a total of a good Maverick. Good Luck!
Hmmm, I know of some on here that have theirs insured for $20K+. Mine's insured for $13K and I pay about $160 a year.
I'm thrue Grundy agread value of 45,000. A lady fell into side on a bike a small dent about a inch or2 spot from handle bar fixed it for 3,000 they paid and didn't bat an eye.you can't go thue state farm or flow, they will screw you in long run. I pay 200$ a year unlimited mileage with towing and other perks.
The state you live in sets the rules for auto insurance. I had Grundy once upon a time and was paying $220 a year for $10K coverage here in PA. Every year they would jack up the premium $15-$20.
My friend has his Maverick insured with Hagerty for $25k Agreed Value. You're dealing with the wrong insurance companies.
you have to find some pics of comparable cars then tell them you are going to sue the only language insurance companies understand is a Lawyer's
I was expecting atleast 4-5K value on it and for them to compensate for upgrades as I have had happen in the past, but yes I have been searching for comparable cars mostly anywhere from 3500-10,000 is kind of what ive been looking at but the high priced ones have decent looking paint but maybe no efi/5 speed so its hard to compare. I am going to goto a freinds body shop today to see what kind of deal he will give me.
We should create a section for those who wish to share their appraisals and auction sales. It would make it easier for everyone. Micah
