holmes, i provided all the mera documentation i could muster up and pictures of the mera id tag showing it is a mera to the insurance agent. then i gave him 3 different mera' prices that were for sale at the time to give an estimated value. at that point the insurance company came back and said it was 15000.00 agreed value. the more paperwork you can provide them the better i think. my .02 mike

7000 miles is pretty liberal, and I can live with the deductible--are there any restrictions on WHERE you can drive it? Some policies restrict you to public events, shows, and parades--one company will allow you to drive it to work twice a week, but not to the grocery store.

Will this allow me to drive it to work on occasion? I am very interested. What are the restrictions?

Joe,
Great cars! I like the bumper pad car in yellow. Your GNX clone looks mean. When I worked for Buick back in the day I used to drive 86 and 87 Turbo T-Types. I drove a Grand National for awhile, but no one would try me on. With the T-Types, usually in light blue metallic, or gray metallic, with the chrome bumpers, I could suprise a lot of unsupecting drivers.

Yeah Rick, those T-Types are the sleepers! I rarely get challenged in the GNX clone. It seems like every performance enthusiast knows them all too well. A guess a side benefit is that I've been getting pretty good gas mileage.

I have two restored/engine swapped Meras insured with American Collectors for about $300 per year each. One is insured for $25k and the other for $30k. There is a mileage limitation of 2500 miles per year but I can get that lifted for a few more dollars.

How do you guys insure your Meras, and what do you pay? Do you have "agreed value" coverage? I am presently with Grundy and my premium is about $250/yr--agreed value is $16000. Since I lost my 87GT (RIP), I want to use my Mera as an occasional driver and don't want to live with the classic car insurance restrictions, but the "book" value with conventional insurance is as an '88 SE. |

Thanks.
Is there a usage restriction--some insurers allow you to drive only to events, shows, and parades.
