Exactly. Never had a claim. Everyone here making statements that it was "no problem" to get coverage can't actually say there was no problem unless they had a claim and it was covered. If they had a covered loss, that's great...not that they had a loss, but that it was covered. But unless they are speaking from that experience, they have no way to know that it was "no problem" to get coverage. All they really know is that they paid a premium to the insurance company.






I can vouch for Hagerty paying my claim on a "modified vehicle", not a total loss, but several thousands in damage, no issues, check cut in full for the estimated repair damages..... I know of 2 other member here on Moparts besides myself that have had claims for damage paid by Hagerty for modified vehicles, in fact one is a heavily modified custom, again no issues from Hagerty for either policy holder

My final message was that if they didn't know what those items were, perhaps they should not be insuring hot rods...

Anyhow, Heacock Classic (their underwriter is AMIG, American Modern Insurance Group) had no problem with my 451, 4-speed or the N 2 O... They just charged a slightly higher rate for "Highly Modified" instead of "Modified" class.
