Insurance recommendations?
After years of being parked and covered in the garage, Ive decided to take my 82 out to the road and be able to drive it "legally".
I estimate/expect to drive the car maybe 100 miles a month, or around 1200 miles a year. I would appreciate any recommendations for basic insurance. Thanks guys!

Ron, contact Adam Boca @ National Corvette Museum - a supporting sponsor. I had used a different carrier last year for my 73, however when I bought my 68 that spring, I found that NCM offered the coverage I desired. Now my 21 and 20 year old sons are covered and can drive the 73 to local events, which my previous carrier would not permit on their policy. NCM is more in tune with car enthusiasts needs. Call Adam @ 877-678-7626, or Adam@corvette museum.org for a quote.

If you want FULL coverage then a specialty shop, like the NCM, is what you need to look for.
But for just liability most will cover that. I have just liability on my 73 right now. Not really driving it and have other vehicles to drive. May look into other options in the future.
How many miles per year and also if you have any tickets/accidents in the last 3 years will weigh heavy on your options.

USAA is able to provide full coverage to me on my 77 along with all my other cars. Corverage is based on appraisal value by a approved 3rd party. $500 deductible 15000 miles a year. I pay around ~$450 (a little high) a year for this coverage but my vette is my DD and it has no driving limitations.

I just bailed on Grundy after getting a bad vibe here and learning that there were more situations that weren't covered than were.
I signed up with American Modern. 1000 miles a year (plenty for me), virtually no restrictions and a premium of $200 instead of $276 with Grundy.

i was insured elsewhere for many years and decided to check out the NCM program. i got in touch with adam and was able to double my stated value coverage for not much more than i was originally paying elsewhere. he is excellent to deal with and the product is an excellent product.
