Preservation vs. recreation, comes up a lot on this site, and my motorcycle sites. Yeah, I guess there's satisfaction in merely owning a thing. But to put a thing to its intended use, and to do it with gusto... that my friend, surpasses mere satisfaction, and elevates the experience to sublime.
In other words, drive the piss out of it!

I brought it home 2 weeks ago and its been in the garage since.
Need to get it appraised before I start using it. Probably won't do that till next spring. I will be taking over to a local muffler shop soon though to have some Flowmaster Super 44's installed.

why does it need appraised? regular car insurance won't cover the value..they will cover blue book, sometimes blue book plus when in great condition. If you want better coverage, then you need to get "agreed value" insurance thru either your company if they offer or companies like Grundy, Hagerty etc..Plenty here have insurance thru companies like that for anywhere from $10k to $40k..premium is based on agreed value in the event of a total loss. must be garaged, not driven daily or as back up transportation etc.

I hope to see this thing next spring since you are local

Also, Grundy or Hagerty insurance are great options for high coverage on your car, you put the value you want on the policy and it’s cheaper than regular insurance. I’ve use it on my old Trans Am before I sold it.

just a suggestion. pull the wheels, sand them down on the in side , and polish them . imo looks a hell of a lot better than black . sure its work , but the result is awesome . I got mine like a mirror in the inside . now I just spray wax em .wow factor 100. that's raw alm . do it rite and it will shine like chrome

Want to have in writing the real value of the car not the insurance value in case it was stolen or damaged beyond repair.

Definitely, I actually work in the Brockton area.

I know right, I was surprised to see it wasn't taken. Although it would not allow me to put a space between the 2 words.

That’s actually the best question of this thread

It's what I'm known for:

That would make the spokes less noticeable. I want them to be more noticeable.

What are you planning on painting them with?

Auto settlements do not use BlueBook, settlements are based on the actual price the totaled car is selling for within a certain radius of the insured's zipcode. 5 units are located, allowances are made for condition (this is how you get higher value if yours was in better than avg condition) & mileage, the 5 final adjusted prices are averaged and a settlement amount is found. This is how the settlement allows you to "replace" your vehicle. Most people just use the $ as down payment to upgrade to a newer/better vehicle.

Antique/Modified stated value policies are the way to go, as you say, for OP's post. I sell JCTaylor & Hagerty. Hagerty has by far the best/loosest usage rules I've found. They even have a usage class that allows using up to 60 times a year to commute to work.

The more I drive mine, the better it runs.
