General Discussion / Bumblebee Concept Camaro from the movie Transformers....

« on: August 05, 2007, 06:58:08 PM »

...hangin out with my car. 

 
I went on a Camaro Club cruise Saturday around the "Rim of the World".  This drive takes you from the bottom of Big Bear mountain up HWY 18  to the top, around the lake and back down HWY 38 for some truly breathtaking scenic views.   Scott Settlemeyer and General Motors surprised us by showing up at Rim of the World High School with the 5th generation Camaro Concept car "BumbleBee" that was the actuall vehicle used in the movie Transformers...   Needless to say, I asked if I could park mine next to it for a nice photo op.

Yes, that's "agreed value" coverage.

I figured....but it's been so long since I signed up...like 10 years ago, I just wanted to make sure.   Thanks.

You have a stated value policy unless your policy says this: (and only this)

"In the event of loss to a "your covered auto" described in the Schedule or in the Declarations for which a specific premium charge indicates that Antique Auto Agreed Value Coverage is afforded:


1. We will, subject to the applicable limit of liability shown in the Schedule or in the Declarations for this coverage:

a. Repair or replace the damaged or stolen property with like kind and quality if the amount necessary to repair or replace such property is equal to or less than the limit of liability shown in the Schedule or in the Declarations; or

b. Pay the amount shown in the Schedule or in the Declarations."

If there are any statements about depreciation, or "value at the time of the accident", the insurance company will find some comparible cars in your area (usually the ones with no drive train and missing the floorboards sitting in a marsh) and use that to establish a lowball value, and then they will depreciate it further for excessive mileage or some other factorsthey dream up you will be lucky to get a couple of thousand dollars out of the insurance company.  Check your policies and read them carefully.

Reading my policy....it says this for "limits of liability".   

A.  We will pay the limit shown under Coverage D in the Declarations for each scheduled vehicle, which is agreed to be the value of "your covered auto", in case of a total loss or "constructive total loss".   "Constructive total loss" means a loss where the cost to repair damage to "your covered auto" will exceed the agreed value of the vehiclewhen fully repaired.

B. For all other loss or damage to "your covered auto", we wil lpy the amount necessary to repair or replace the property, whichever is less, provided you actually repair or replace the property, with similar kind and quality, without regard to depreciation or betterment, but we will not pay more than the agreed l imit per vehicle shown under Coverage D in the Declarations

There is an "Agreed Value" listed on the Declarations page

Does this sound right?

I've been with Hagerty for roughly 9 years...the underwriter is "Emcompass Insurance".   It is an "Agreed Value" policy which matches my "regular" car coverage for liability/prop damage.

I've never had any claims so I cannot give advice about how they treat a loss.

They were selling a 1:64 Greenlight 2006 Concept Camaro/70 Camaro set at BJ this year for $20.00....   or it was free if you spent $200.00 on other merchandise. 

I passed.

I have a 1967 convertible and i want to know how can you tell the difference between a rear seat for a coupe or a convertible?
Is there a size difference? if so what is it?
Thanks

The vert seat is narrower...    by how much I am uncertain.   I had to use a vert rear seat cover for my coupe because I have the fold down rear seat which is also narrower than the standard coupe.....that really throws a wrench in the works!

Aren't these parts reproduced by some company?  if not now, they will be soon.  I can't see them just not making them anymore forever.
