My 2 cents...
I have AON collectors insurance and with a modified 350 and $9K agreed value it runs about $180 per year here in Oklahoma. I'll raise my agreed value after interior and exterior restoration is completed. They also have NO milage limit. But they do require a locked storage as well as another vehicle for daily driver. Might give em' a look see:

I have 3 cars and home owners with Nationwide. The Vette is less $800 per year with full coverage, 5K miles per year. In comparison, my 97 Geo Prizm cost a few bucks more to insure.

Here in Canada there's a place where they have a special insurance call silverwheels i got my vette insured with them now for almost 10 years at $141.oo/year full coverage ,no milage limited but need a daily driver in your name. apprase value at $14000. They take 15 years old and older but when the car turn 25 it half price. I only do like 1000 milles a year so it just what i need.

Hang in there and bite the insurance bullet for another year. I only pay about $150 per year on my ’74. It is stated value policy with State Farm for $15,000. The car has to be at least 25 years old and may require registration as an historic vehicle. As others have stated you must have a secured garage.

my father is a state farm agent, as much as i would like to get a discount.....i dont get one. neither does he for that matter. most people think he gets a discount or gets it for free. i have a 78 pace with 34,000 miles. under the classic car classification it costs me $252 every six months ( $42 a month for those that think in terms of months ). and that is FULL coverage.
