This does not help you now, but may help you in the future. There is an Insurance company that specializes in "Collector" status autos. Hagerty Auto (http://www.hagerty.com) will build a premium based on what the auto is worth on the street and to you, vs low blue booking it so to speak. They aren't going to be as cheap as an Allstate, but if you have an accident, and you know the only way you are replacing your priced Diesel Coupe is 15K, then 15K is what you'll get. (As an aside, I've never actually had a chance to use them yet, none of my cars are older than 94, and they are all Mitsubishi. Not exactly the caliber of vehicle they deal with, but I've owned some "exotic" to me vehicles in the past that I lost due to insurance writing them off. So your mileage may vary.) -- Knowledge is power... Power Corrupts. Study hard... Be Evil.
