Nice ride, my first car was an 86 Cutlass. I wouldn't mind another G-Body someday...

I'm not going to guess at it's value, but IMO that is NOT what you should insure it for. Insure it for the cost it would take you to replace it in the event of a total loss. My Olds is insured for more than I could probably sell it for, but Hagerty didn't seem to mind the last time I requested a value adjustment, and they simply adjusted my premium to the new agreed value.

Thank you! The price of the g body’s is starting to climb quickly, so now would be the time. That is extremely valid. I just increased the insurance a bit and am waiting for the approval.
