Sparky-(Admin) 21,295 #1 Posted August 4, 2014 Been without a 4 wheel toy for a couple years so I scraped up all my pennies and bought this over the weekend. Its a 1994 with a 5.7v-8 (what else right ?) with a 6 speed manual, and a solid targa top with a leather interior. Its not showroom/mint condition and does have a few nicks and scratches but still looks presentable. The Magnaflow exhaust is a bit loud....or maybe I'm just to old . Now to figure out how to insure it with one teeneage driver in the house and another one just 2 months away from 16!! Probably try for classic car insurance from Hagerty or something along those lines with just the wife and I on the policy. Pics of course; Mike......... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,032 #3 Posted August 4, 2014 Always liked the Corvettes, Mike. I had a '76 back in the late 70's, looks like you have a nice one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #4 Posted August 4, 2014 Sweet ride you got there, and the right brand. Sorry AMC. I have a few limited use classic policies with Shelter Insurance. I Just paid the one on my 1992 Z28 convertible. It's 92.00 every 6 months full coverage, 15,000.00 policy. I didn't know about this section, I should put it on here.

Coadster32 793 #6 Posted August 4, 2014 Nice Vette!!! I always wanted a 70's vette, but ended up with a 70's Camaro. (Wanted to take the kids with me and needed a 4 seater.) Someday, I'll get a vette when the kids are older. Good luck with it. Better to have it not showroom condition....now you won't be scared to use it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,010 #7 Posted August 4, 2014 The only bad thing about a Vette is getting out of it! I had a "Vette" once. Good beater. Fold down the seat and fill it with junk! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they are way outa my price range. The C-4 Vettes like mine are kinda inexpensive right now....hopin they start going up in value . Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,683 #19 Posted August 5, 2014 Are you kidding...insuring the kids and the wife on that car??? If it was me...they would be lucky to be able to look at it...maybe take the wife for a ride (once in a great while)...if she is good. This car is made for (what we call in the fishing world).....trolling. Nice ride Mike!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This car is made for (what we call in the fishing world).....trolling. Nice ride Mike!!! What I meant was that I have one teenage driver and another in the bull-pen so I need to shop around for a separate policy. Maybe a classic car policy with mileage restrictions. Don't worry....the kids aint driving it! I will let my wife use it if she wants, but I bet she just takes the shotgun seat everytime. Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,929 #25 Posted August 6, 2014 I would check with you current provider just for fun, you never know and it never hurts to ask. The other thing to take into consideration is if you have mulitcar, home, life, etc with your current company it can give you quite a few discounts. Here in KY the lowest milage is "driven less than 3 miles per day". I have that on all of mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
