Thanks all to those who suggested insurance companies, they were ALL helpful suggestions!
My best quotes so far for 152K of coverage (126k Pantera & 26k Thunderbird) with 300/300 liability, 300 under or uninsured, 5k mileage each per year, $1000 deductible each, roadside, spare parts, trip interuption, etc., are:
American Collectors - $837 yr.
Condon Skelly - $753 yr.
The main difference between these two is American will pay $250 per occurence x3 for roadside, and Condon will pay $100 each unlimited times. I recently had a car towed 1 mile to my house and it cost me $120, and it wasn't even a flatbed! That $84 difference could get eaten right up on one tow.
I'm waiting on Barrett Jackson (Chartis), and one or two others. American Modern came in at $1129, Grundy came in $1307, and Hagerty came in at a whopping $1600 to up my coverage to those levels.
I'm sure some of you may be thinking, "Why 126k and 26k?" Well, having no deductible increased each qoute by over $400. I figured I would be paying about $6 per thousand (based on the $837 quote), so I asked how much it would cost to increase the coverage of each car by 1k. The total policy increase is $14! (This actually brought them to $837 and $753.) So, if (God forbid) I ever have a total loss, I still get the 125k and 25k values I originally wanted. It essentially builds the deductible into the agreed values. It seems like a no-brainer to me!
