Insuring a Speedy in NC - Help!!

FM Former Member
I am in the process of purchasing Trent Eubank's 2004 CMC, and called Hagerty for an insurance quote. They told me that since it was manufactured in '05, that they cannot insure it. However, if I can get it registered as a '69 VW (which is what the chassis is), then they can write a policy for it. However, NC DMV says on their website that I when register it, I have to list the year it was manufactured. How has anybody else taken care of this? Also if anyone has some solid info on registering and titling it, that would be much appreciated! It seems that NC makes this more difficult than it should be.

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Update - I just spoke with a NC DMV inspector, and after explaining to him that I am purchasing a replica Speedster that is built on a '69 chassis with a '69 vw engine, he told me since it is already registered as such in AL, then I might as well register it as a '69 v-dub here in NC! So now I can insure it as a '69 V-dub and get full insurance on it.
Now let's see how it plays out when I get that hot little tub here! I can't wait! Thanks everyone for their help in this matter!

Mark - per our call today, thanks again for all the updates and congratulations on the recent succes you've had getting the paperwork nailed down. I'm sorry it has been a bit of a hassle but seems it is all working out to the good for you.

That shiny red Speedy is cleaned up and ready for the trip to your place. I'm afraid I'll be standing in my empty garage bay quietly sobbing to myself as the truck pulls away. I'll have to fill that void pretty quick before it completely sets in that my baby really is gone!!!

Trent: You better get that garage filled soon or else the Mrs will take it over. When I sold my 550 Spyder my wife soon started to migrate her vacuum cleaner, unused furniture and other odds and ends into the garage. The only way I could get her stuff back into the house was to clear out the garage, paint the walls and tile the floor. To keep it cear for my SAS Cabriolet I have to leave my lawn equipment, air compressor, rolling toolbox and various tools spread around the floor taking up space. The garage is man's last remnants of his castle, don't give it up!

As a general insurance comment - I've found that within the same insurance company, WHO you talk to can make all the difference. I don't mean higher up the chain of command either. I was turned down twice, and accepted the third time, by three different agents of the same insurance company. Told all of them the same specs. The third agent winked and said, "you just gotta know HOW to do it". He was a very good agent for a lot of years.

As for DMVs, I've been told many times to go to offices in smaller communities. They are much more "customer oriented" than larger city offices. But of course it is a state thing.
