my only suggestion is to get an agreed value insurance policy. this means that should you have an accident of any sort the insurance company will base how much they will spend on repairs on a value that you negotiate instead of just giving you a blank book value that is likely far less than you could sell the car for or what it would cost to repair even minor damage.
some agreed value policies do have mileage restrictions, but they too are normally negotiable.

only one thing to add to this: replacement coverage. Â*that means that if the car is a total loss or cannot be recovered (theft) then you get a comparable car outta the deal. Â*costs a little bit more but well worth the peace of mind knowing you'll always have your car - or one very close to it based on the going rate of the market when it is declared a total loss or unrecoverable (not based on when you sign the policy). this would be an either/or situation. you can't get agreed upon value and replacement coverage, so you need to make a decision which makes more sense. since i am relatively new to owning an antique, i don't have experience with ongoing insurance (this is the first year) so i don't know if the "agreed upon" value can be revisited and updated.
hagerty and companies like them provide agreed upon value insurance. Â*just type "collector car insurance" into your favorite search engine. any other insurance company can provide replacement coverage.
