Insurance while restoring vette ?
I just picked my '72 project last weekend (from Ohio). It'll be a few yrs. (or less) before it gets going 
.
Question - would it be wise to insure it for theft and/or damage ?
What do some of you guys (or gals) do ?
Thx,
Scott

You should be able to purchase fire and theft for a specific amount on the car. I have one right now and I think it is costing me 25.00 every six months. It’s real cheap even if I’m wrong. I’m sure there is an insurance agent on here that would be better suited to answer this question.
However, if it’s apart you should be able to just purchase a fire and theft policy while you work.

Call your homeowner's insurance agent and ask what a rider for covering the VALUE of your car would cost you to add to your existing policy. Then call Hagerty and ask them what comprehensive and theft coverage ONLY would cost (assuming it is being kept in a locked garage at your home). Take the least expensive option.
