Hi Gang,

I'm just waiting for the arrival of my new "79" G300D, its coming in from the left coast. Boy I can't wait...

I just called my insurance company to add it to my policy. I'm putting full coverage on it, she asked me how much I paid for it and I told her $16,500. I then asked her if the total value (wreck) would be what I paid for it, she said no. She said they go buy the blue book value, ok which blue book??? The Nada & Kelly sites only go back as far as 1983. There is no G wagon listed anyway. I'd hate to have something happen to it and then find out that they only say its worth $1000 or something cray like that. She couldn't tell me what their $ value on the car would be and told me to check out Kelly to no avail.

Do I need some kind of exotic insurance or maybe a private appraisel? What do you do for insurance???

Thanks,

It sounds like you need an Agreed Value Policy, often used by antique car collectors. Try Hemmings Motor News for names of insurance companies. Often, however, these policies have mileage limitations.

year & model are not enough info to valuate. miles? honest condition?, etc. 2 year old CPI value range from $11-14K. would now be about $9-12K. these are retail figures.
