Insuring older imports

I am curious as to how members with 90 or even any 1g DSM galant or Colt are insuring their vehicles.
Last year I had a hard time insuring my 89 Colt. Classic car insurance won't insure it due to being valued under $3500, being an import and having four doors.
So it got insured as a daily. I had to have it safetied in order to be able to have insurance. Most insurance companies wouldn't even look at it.
Renewal is up and premium jumped up over 20%. Typical insurance bull xxxx.
Going to have the Colt appraised this year after paint.
What are the members doing for insurance then?

I am through Grant (old board member) mainly because with one email I can put my car on parked insurance which is only 10 or so dollars a month.

Some reviews on Grant: http://www.ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=417551

Keep us updated on if you find classic car insurance as I am sure there may be some who are interested (including myself) mainly because like you said once I do make it so I can drive I am paying daily insurance rates.

I am with Grant awsell. Haggarty hardly will let you drive your car anywhere cant take it to work cant take it the store cant park it on the street.....

Gredfern@allstate.ca if you wish to contact him. Great guy in my books.

I'm with Allstate too and they're really good at insuring anything ive had to throw at them. Not through grant, just the local office where I live but no issues and they've always taken good care of me.

I cross my fingers, best insurance

Intact here, but Brampton rates, so I'm out of the running in any of the category :S

I deal with Grant for everything including my house. Top service, like Bryan said, on email or text to the guy and it's done. I think I have maybe had to sign one form in 3 years.

I have my 94' insured, with collision even through Allstate.

It looks like Haggerty has a more flexible option, including being able to drive it to work etc.

I gotta find someone who won't beef me for being highly modified possibly including a half cage in the back. My best friends dad insures my stock cars cheap but he has been weary on the Eclipse so we ll see. Gotta make sure no one screws me before I do a rear rollbar

Thanks for the input guys.
I am currently with Allstate as a daily. Last year they were the best rates for me as well on my other vehicles and properties. Runner up was the Co-operaters.
Gotta go shopping again. I was told last year the car had to be valued over $3500 to be considered for classic thru silverwheels.
Unfortunately the Colt is worth nothing in the real world.
I will keep posted with my findings.

Update. Last summer (Aug. 2017) I had the car painted, cleaned up inside out, got it appraised and now with classic car insurance costing me $140 for the year. There are a lot of restrictions, but I only drive the colt two or three times a month so it's perfect for me.
That premium is for a car valued under $10k.

That is something I should look into for my 1993 this year.

That's fantastic, was just looking into to this.
Who are you with.
I was told hagerty has a list of approved appraisers that you have to use or you will get denied.
