Are you selling it or getting a value for insurance? With a limited production 90 like you have, you may have to look outside your area.
I'm sure someone on here will know a good place.

Like the B-36 in your pic. I grew up on a SAC base, saw 36'S 47's 52's and the 58 Hustler as a kid thought it was normal to have them just beyond my backyard fence in base housing. Only later learned they were active and nuclear armed. Funny, when we saw the 52's scramble, what the actual reality was. We'd be marshmallows in about 5 minutes. Anyway, it was a different way to grow up!

And OT: Amazing the difference from civilian to military. I grew up about 12 miles away from a SAC base in MS. and had 52s scream over my head but as a civilian child grew up oblivious. Did visit buddies on base and saw the nuke compound. They definitely had different attitudes but still were just kids.

There's a B-36 in the background, but the foreground plane is the YB-60,
which was a one-off prototype (they did start a second, IIRC) that was
basically a B-36 fuselage with swept wings and eight jets. Didn't make
production because the B-52 had a big head start.
At first I thought NitroNutt's avatar was one of the B-52 prototypes that
had an in-line cockpit, but it didn't quite look right so I started doing
some serious Googling.
I grew up about four miles from an AFB in AZ. SAC when I was a
kid, F4 training in high school, A-10s these days.
NitroNutt: you got a cool car and a piece of 'vette history.
