    Alrighty folks, here's the deal; I've been trying to get insurance quotes for a (what's soon to be mine) '75, but all of the major insurance websites only cover cars from 1981 and up. This will be my daily driver, AND the only car I own. I don't have a garage so pretty much all classic car insurance companies are out of the question. How should I go about handling this? If it helps any, I'm in NC.

    I've been with Allstate since '83. I carry minimum liability and it cost me $28 month. I have 15 cars, so if I lose one I've got another. If I were you I would use full coverage. $58 sounds like a great price to me.

    58 bucks a month full coverage and I get Roadside Towing and winshield protection..(If ALL my windows were to break I'd only pay100 bucks to replace all of the windows),and I believe my car is insured for 9,500 incase someone totals it..Not bad

    I used to have AAA insurance, but it got too expensive. I have been with Mercury for approximately 5 years now with no problems.

    They aren't all Mavericks. But 5 of 'em are. Plus 2 Maverick/Comet parts cars. And a building full of parts for them I've collected over the last 29 years. Mavericks were my first love. I owned 17 of 'em once ( Back when I owned 40 cars at one time).

    I just have e-surance. I try real hard not to get in an accident. Don't want to find out how bad they are.

    Good Luck, with them, they have a tendacy to under estimate damage and not pay the full amount to get damaged fixed.
