Hi,
I am arguing with State Farm as to what my car is worth. Of course, I think it is worth more than they want to insure it for. Before I go get it appraised, what (ballpark) do you guys think it is worth on the open market? I need to get some "supporting" data for them to consider anything more than $12,000.00 (which it seems that junk is bringing these days). They want to insure it for $10,000.00 and I would like to see it insured for $18,000.00, especially since there are less LM1 optioned cars surviving than SS 350's. The car can be viewed at: http://www.nois.net/69lm1/camarolm1.htm (three large pics) It is a late 68 produced 1969 Camaro, frame "on" restored. It is super original, to include the factory smog system and the reverse lockout (usually the first things disconnected). It is it's original "Hugger Orange". It has the rare (ok, not CoPo rare, but not common either)LM1 350 option, which as was usual came with the 12 bolt multi leaf rear, tach and gauge package. It still sports the "PBT" stamps on the firewall. Although the trim tag does not show deluxe interior, it has the original deluxe interior as well as recovered comfort weave seats. The door panels have the lock holes placed in the further back "68" placement supporting their being original. Another unusual original feature of this car is that it came from the factory with the spoiler option, but being late 68, it got the 68 "short" spoiler installed (It has the 1 larger supporting "rod" in the trunk). The unusual item is that it also has the rear installed antenna! Normally, the rear spoiler will not work with a rear mounted antenna as the spoiler would hit the antenna every time you opened the trunk. With the 68 short spoiler, the spoiler passes the antenna just fine. The only thing I have left to do is to install the dash pad and I have added three things that are not original to this car: 1. Fold Down rear seat (correct Camaro short seat, with arm rests and metal extensions) 2. SS Hood (A real one, not a repo) 3. Hockey stick stripes (painted, under the clear, not stickers). Please no "Well, whatever the value is to you" sort of thing. I am trying to get a fair idea of what the replacement market value would be on this car for the insurance company and want to make sure that I am not being unreasonable as to the value I think it is worth. Any opinions? Thanks in advance, Rich
