[DeTomaso] Documentation of Panteras increased value

[Jim Gray]

I recently increased my coverage with Hagerty.  All they asked for, if readily available, was an up-to-date photo of the car since the only one they had was from 2001!
When I DID have a claim (broken windshield) they handled it quite promptly and to my full satisfaction.
YMMV

  I've been with Hagerty since I got my Pantera fourteen years ago.
  Originally I had my Pantera on an agreed upon value policy of $35,000,
  last year I bumped it up to $60,000.  I've never had to make a claim so
  I guess so far I am happy with them.  If values keep going up I will
  probably look at bumping it up in the next year or two.
  As someone who will probably never sell I am torn about the raise in
  values.  While I think it is great that the Pantera is finally given
  some recognition for being the great car we all know it is, I don't
  want it to become worth so much that it starts to make people not want
  to drive them.  Personally even if my Pantera is worth $50-70K it is
  still a viable risk to take for the same nice weekend drives that I
  usually take it on... If it were to drastically go up to say $150K then
  I might start to question the sanity of driving it amongst a sea of
  Pickups, SUVs and Minivans where the drivers may or may not be busy
  texting or yelling at the kids in back to see my tiny little Italian
  hot rod.
