I sold both my Riviera and my Adam-12 wagon, so I called the insurance company to cancel the policies on them. During the conversation, it came up that I am replacing both those cars with an '07 Mustang, and the lady on the phone offered to quote me on the Mustang. I told her that I didn't realize that her company insured newer cars, only collector cars. She replied that the Mustang (even a new one) is considered a collector car. So while she was figuring up the quote, I asked her about insuring my Marauder as a collector car as well, since I put less than 3000 miles a year on it. She told me that they didn't consider the Marauder a collector car.
So, a car that they built about 11,000 of over a two-year production run is not collectible, but a car that they build 150,000+ of EVERY YEAR is, simply because of the name. Interesting.
Oh, and insuring the Mustang as a collector car would have cost more than the standard insurance that I have on it now.
