I built my '68 for exactly what Greg said, long trips, possibly back to the East Coast. The car's about to get out on the road, and I've been looking into insurance. In talking to Haggerty, Grundy and other agreed value insurers, I've been told by each that they wouldn't insure my car on an agreed value policy because of "excessive use." Apparently something like the Hot Rod Power tour is okay, but long solo trips are not.
Are people not using their cars as I plan to use mine? Are they using them that way and not disclosing the use to the agreed value insurer? In short, if you've built a pro-touring car and want to actually tour with adequate insurance for the car, where are you getting your insurance?

When I had Grundy there was no mileage limit, and they never asked for odometer info. The only limit they had for driving was not to use it as a daily driver to work; every other company had that same restriction. Maybe that's changed. Have you checked with
Classic Collectors or
La Rue Classics? I would be curious if they have mileage limits, they're both site sponsors.
