    Cost of raising the value of your coupe for insurance purposes

    Since Hagerty went public my impression is their agents are working to a new metric. Yes they are scrutinizing those they insure differently. My policy is up in early November and I spoke to them about increasing the insured value on my car. Previously insured for $70k I requested an inceace...

    Nardi wheel value

    Haha…yeah. May not add value but it is kinda cool. About 8 years ago I found a Nardi wheel in Japan date stamped 12/76. Bought it as a Christmas present for myself. It was pretty rough, varnish was absent on much of the wheel. But over 4 weeks before Christmas I would apply varnish, sand...

    How many of you have cars in good condition that have NOT been through a restoration?

    No didn’t. Simply adjustment and jetting. Runs flawlessly. Had the car at Don’s for a bit and Chris commented on its responsiveness so leaving well enough alone!! But good to know!! Thanks!!

    How many of you have cars in good condition that have NOT been through a restoration?

    I think the decision often begins with the condition of the vehicle when it is acquired. I was fortunate enough to purchase a car which was in very good original condition. Maintained from new and then eventually owned by a BMW mechanic in Southern California. A repaint in the 1980s with old...

    Hagerty Valuations

    Hahaha. There is obviously motivation in the outreach. Maybe this is an early State Farm influence. And yes it will be in added premiums. However the add on will be minimal for me. For someone who had the low beam light circuit fail causing an electrical meltdown which required replacement of a...

    Hagerty Valuations

    Haha…yes. $20k at each level. yes. They reached out to me on a couple of my vehicles. But the coupe was the biggest gap between my insured value and what they are suggesting. And yes…they do use their internal public valuation when Setting values with customers.

    Hagerty Valuations

    So I received a note from Hagerty that I might want to increase the value for my insurance. When I went into their valuation tools I found the gap between a 2800cs and 3.0cs had dropped to just $20k at all levels. No longer the under appreciated older sibling!!

    Tyre recommendations for 16inch Alpinas

    If you would prefer a summer tire try the Continental Extreme Contact Sport. I have been very impressed with them.

    Chris, you had the unique situation where the peanut gallery was the forum. Not all sellers are this fortunate.
