All depends on the underwriter.How can this be? USAA refused to insure my stock MV (after they quoted a policy)
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Bingo. When I had my Dodge Viper it cost me less to insure that than a 3/4 ton GMC. My insurance company said she asked the underwriter if that was correct and he told her literally, "I'm having a good day today, so yes." Sort of sucks it can be that discretionary however.All depends on the underwriter.
I had good luck with State Farm. If my vehicle was a 1992 or older, J.C. Taylor was way way cheaper, like 150.00 for the year.We bought an Arizona-registered bobbed Deuce a short while back. The truck is still in Arizona, but I have the title andBill of Sale..
Today I went to my insurance company(Country Financial) here in Nevada to get coverage for this truck. They said they would not cover it "because it's been MODIFIED".
Now what? I have six other vehicles covered by this outfit, and I am quite prepared to tell them to take their policies and place them "out of the sunlight".
Suggestions would be much appreciated. Right now I am angry...VERY angry.
That borders on extortion.After some discussion, and having the Agent and "the underwriter" (someone up the chain) view the Ebay photos* of the truck, they decided it could be covered....IF we transferred our other six vehicles to their coverage.
Adding something to a car that has been designed to fit properly by the aftermarket manufacturer is not modifying it. Chopping off 3 ft of frame, and an axle then reworking the brakes and drive shaft is most definitely is. /QUOTE]
I completly disagree. If it isn't OEM replacement, it is modified.
Further, do you really think that the aftermarket industry is automatically and intrinsically safer than a properly executed bob? Laughable.
Lastly, most of you IMHO are blowing this WAY out of proportion.
I am having problems in Florida; Grundy turned me down saying the vehicle (M109A3) was to heavy and not a collector item. I was told to look at Hagerty and see if they will insure.anybody in Idaho have a problem getting insurance? If not, please tell me where you got it from.
Hagerty is OK, but they require you to keep it garaged. Most people do not have a garage large enough to keep a Deuce in. I wonder if BruceB ever got insurance, never heard back from him.I was told to look at Hagerty and see if they will insure. Dave08
Sorry, I've neglected to keep y'all updated.I wonder if BruceB ever got insurance, never heard back from him.
Here's a link to GULFWAY: Gulfway Insurers - A Leader in the Specialty Insurance IndustryTow4
Thanks!!!!! The form number is HSMV 83045 for Florida MV Registration. The next problem is Insurance. You mentioned Gulfway but I can't find anything in the Google Search for them. Do you have any additional information? If they insure MVs then they should give you a finders fee!
Thanks,
