Replacement Parts For Your Classic Car
Your classic or antique car is an investment. Sure, it can be an enjoyable pastime, and a rewarding hobby, but the reality is that we have a lot of money invested in our cars. This money is in the form of quality original parts used to bring our babies back to life.
"New Old Stock" or NOS parts are the ultimate way to rebuild your classic car. These parts are the original parts made at the time the vehicle was assembled. They are factory parts that can be installed to retun a vehicle to an original status in terms of it's true value. The unfortunately fact of life is that these parts are becoming more and more rare over time, and even more expensive. High-end parts like engines or dashboards are rising in cost every day.
In the unfortunate situation where your muscle car is involved in an accident you want to make sure you have a say in the repairs. Most standard insurance policies state the the insurer gets to pick the parts used to repair the vehicle. In most cases these parts will be less expensive aftermarket parts made recently. These parts, while perfectly functional, can devalue your vehicle by removing that "original" status.
Stated value insurance on the other hand allows the owner of the vehicle to specify not only the parts used, but also the repair shop that will perform the repairs. This guarantees you get the best parts as well as service by those special mechanics that know your vehicle and its history.
Stated value insurance through a company such as Hagerty or Grundy is a worthwhile insurance policy for your pride and joy's well being. It will guarantee that your vehicle maintains its value even in the instance of a car accident. Contact your specialty insurance agent today and get an insurance quote, you'll be glad you did. |
