Hagerty Insurance - - Agreed Upon Value Question ?

[Casey Marks]

I, like many, use Hagerty to insure my cars. I have a dilemma right now, and was wondering if any of y'all have been down this path already to save me some steps.

The MAX that they will insure my 70 F85 W-31 for is *about* $10k less than the market is bearing right now for the cars. They will insure it for the max, but in the event of a loss, I'd be kinda dinked. Unfortunately, like many of you know with a car that has very low production numbers, even those sales are few-and-far between - - - hence, no data for Hagerty to back it up. Total production for the car is 207, but it is one of 20 that was exported to Canada. So I have all of the documentation, etc. that goes with the car, adding value, as the cars delivered to the States have no way to verify legitimacy. There was a records vault fire at Olds in 1977 that destroyed all documentation prior, but obviously GM Canada had the paperwork for cars exported into the country.

So - - the question is ...... Hagerty says that I need to do some leg work to *prove* the cars' value. Have any of you had to do this ? If so, what did you send to them to help your cause ? I have some ideas, but don't want a bunch of back and forth conversation, etc. to make it happen. Any *Lessons Learned* ???

Thanks.
