I bought an 86 Trans Am in August of 2009. I put classic insurance on the car and got it inspected so everything was fine. This car was insured through American Collectors insurance and they contacted me around December requesting photo evidence of the car being kept in a garage. Now could I have pulled it into one and snapped a quick photo? Yes. But instead I opted to cancel my insurance policy with them because I was applying for a job that, let's say wouldn't have liked insurance fraud on my resume. Of course 2 weeks later someone hit this car while it was parked in the street at my parents house and then they ran off, but I guess that another story...
Anyway, I'd like to get collectors/classic insurance and do everything properly. Hagerty already got my application with my statement that the vehicle will be kept in my driveway so I should be ok. My main issue will be at the DMV once I get the insurance. I'll have to haggle my way out of historic registration since the car is 25 years old and collector's registration requires that the car be younger than 25... We'll see what happens, but I may be forced into QQs anyway.

Yeah, the state imposed and verified milage limit is what puts me off to collector stuff. QQ doesn't have that.
