Default Whats it worth? 1978 Pace

I have a 1978 Pace, L-82, original paint, 63.8K original miles (numbers match), automatic. The interior is in excellent condition, the paint has some minor webbing but overall good condition.

I am going to be switching to a Classic Car policy (currently have MetLife), and I need to come up with a VALUE. Any opinions?

According to Nada, Low Retail = $10,000; Avg Retail = $17,100; High Retail = $26,900 . (Avg Retail seems like the best description to me.. "This vehicle would be in good condition overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A "20-footer".")

Also, I am thinking between American Hobbyist Insurance, and Hagerty. Anyone know anything one way or another about these companies? I am thinking Hagerty because it is $0 deductible.

:cheers:

I f you went with Condon and Skelley you would still have MetLife at a lower rate and you would have an agreed value that you set. Only possible gotcha is the yearly mileage limit, but it doesn't sound like you dive it much. I have a $25k agreed value for about $350/year.
