Re: insurance for that extra special vehicle...

I had mine appraised by an automotive appraiser (look in the phone book) 
and it cost $60.  I then took the appraisal to my insurance agent and told 
him I wanted my car insured at stated value.  I have comprehensive and 
collision as well.  Current value of my baby BFT (Before Five-speed Tranny 
:) is $4000.  Having all of my receipts, showing all of the work that had 
been done, helped as well.

I feel my car is still worth more (who doesn't?) but at least if something 
terrible happens to my baby I won't be taking a complete loss.

I have a question for all those out there in the know.  Where does one
insure his immaculate fastback at a rate negotiated above blue book.  I
would take a SIGNIFICANT loss if I insured my car at blue and it were to
get hurt or stolen.
