[DeTomaso] Insurance.

[Christopher Kimball]

With Hagerty I pay $141/yr. for $50,000 stated value and zero deductible for my Pantera, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

In the end I stayed with American Hobbyist (whom have just adopted their parent Company name of American Collectors).

They did make me sign a waver specific to the Ultima as in their words 'it looks like a race car', but even so the waiver was no 'timed or competitive racing' leaving HDPE track days open.> > Hagerty have the best reputation when it comes to a claim, but their rates on the Ultima alone were as much as I pay for 5 cars with American Hobbyist and they have full track exclusions.> > Julian> _________________________________________________________________> Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.
