Chevelle Mailing List'Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week

Since I don't want to deal with mileage and use
restrictions, I still have them covered under my normal policy. Standard
auto policies are Actual Cash Value (ACV) where you and they determine the
value of the car at the time of the loss. This works out just fine for
commodity cars that are for sale everywhere and there are no
customizations. When you get into customized and/or rare cars, you can
run into issues.
This is a great point to talk to your agent
about. See if they have an estimated value for your car and see how far
away from what you think it should be that they end up. Ask about
customization and improvements and if they take those into account. If
you buy a $1,500 set of wheels and $1,000 tires the day before a wreck, will
they add that to the value? What about a three year-old $5,000 paint
job? Custom suspension, engine, interior?
You either need a really good agent, or you need a
special policy such as the agreed value. The only danger with agreed
value is that you need to keep up to date on this. If you have the value
set and then make upgrades to the car, you need to change the value. You also
have to adjust for increases in value. If Clint (just for this example)
does not do this and the car is really worth $35,000 when it gets into a
wreck, the insurance company will pay him $25K and satisfy all their
obligations.
There is no right or wrong answer, as every situation
is different. No matter what, I do recommend you get an agent that loves
cars and understands your own love of cars. Then talk with them about
possible situations and expectations. If they think of cars as means of
transportation, you will not get the support you need when it comes time to
have them work for their money.

If you don't have Agreed Value coverage,I would
be a little nervous. Just got a new policy on my 69 Camino from LaRue
Insurance,while I was at Chevellabration. The car was insured on the
old policy with my daily driver and just covered for liability only,at
a cost of $270/year. My new policy has an Agreed Value of $25,000,liability
coverage of $100,000,and the yearly premium is $230. The only downside is I
have a mileage restriction of 5K miles a year. Wasn't supposed to have any
restrictions but there was a snafu.

daughter attends Purdue
University there.

about two weeks from my second 3 disc fusion in the lower back, I may be
making a mistake, but I have told my daughter if I couldn’t make it she
could take the car and enter it herself.
I read what you

I have the car insured with my home and auto insurance rather than
collectors insurance so my daughter can drive the car at times. It

RE: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
Since I don't want to deal with mileage and use
restrictions, I still have them covered under my normal policy. Standard
auto policies are Actual Cash Value (ACV) where you and they determine the value
of the car at the time of the loss. This works out just fine for commodity
cars that are for sale everywhere and there are no customizations. When
you get into customized and/or rare cars, you can run into issues.
This is a great point to talk to your agent
about. See if they have an estimated value for your car and see how far
away from what you think it should be that they end up. Ask about
customization and improvements and if they take those into account. If you
buy a $1,500 set of wheels and $1,000 tires the day before a wreck, will they
add that to the value? What about a three year-old $5,000 paint job?
Custom suspension, engine, interior?
You either need a really good agent, or you need a
special policy such as the agreed value. The only danger with agreed value
is that you need to keep up to date on this. If you have the value set and
then make upgrades to the car, you need to change the value. You also have to
adjust for increases in value. If Clint (just for this example) does not
do this and the car is really worth $35,000 when it gets into a wreck, the
insurance company will pay him $25K and satisfy all their
obligations.
There is no right or wrong answer, as every situation
is different. No matter what, I do recommend you get an agent that loves
cars and understands your own love of cars. Then talk with them about
possible situations and expectations. If they think of cars as means of
transportation, you will not get the support you need when it comes time to have
them work for their money.

If you don't have Agreed Value coverage,I would
be a little nervous. Just got a new policy on my 69 Camino from LaRue
Insurance,while I was at Chevellabration. The car was insured on the
old policy with my daily driver and just covered for liability only,at a
cost of $270/year. My new policy has an Agreed Value of $25,000,liability
coverage of $100,000,and the yearly premium is $230. The only downside is I
have a mileage restriction of 5K miles a year. Wasn't supposed to have any
restrictions but there was a snafu.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
Dave, Did the door get into the quarter? I see where the fender got the door. My guess is you'll have to do some frame straightening to that right side frame horn where the bumper bolts on. They like to bend there. Don't ask me how I know :) As long as it bent in front of the control arms you should be OK. The good thing is nobody was hurt. My 69 took a hit like this in 1978. Took it to the body shop and they fixed the front horn on the frame along with the front end and door. It looked great but never seemed to track right. When I removed the body for my frame off restoration in 92 the frame was bent right where it goes up over the rear tire. Who would have guessed that an impact like that would travel all the way down that frame rail and do damage in the rear section like that?

RE: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
Glad everyone is alright. Hope they had good insurance because it looks like a lot of work and more than a few bucks to fix it. Around here with bad luck you would have come up with an uninsured driver and would have been SOL.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
Dave, That bites!! Let me guess; teenager with a cell phone attached to her ear? I'm headed out this evening, with the old GMC, to a cruse in Roanoke. I always have my radar on for the 'I'm in a big freaking hurry" crowd but you just can't predict what others will do. Sorry you and your family had to go through that; glad to hear everybody is OK. Good luck on the repair, Rich - Original Message - From: Dave Benjamin To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 9:41 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end The Beaumont Takes One We went for a nice little cruise Friday and when I was coming back into town a Mini Van was stopped ready to make a left turn in front of me.
