I changed to Robbin at Midwest Classics a couple of years ago. Cobra insurance for the same coverage is 40% cheaper. Last year I got Robbin to insure my 06 Mustang as a classic. It'a garage kept, very low mileage keeper. Saved a lot on that deal.
You Corvetta guys need to check with Robbin to see if you can save some money and increase your coverage.
I highly recomment Midwest Classics

Just had my FFR insured by Mid Classic through Robbin Terry. Just wanted to say, great guy and could not have had better service. I would recommend him 100%, no other way to go.

Thanks for the kind words guys I really appreciate it. I am sorry I did not see these other posts and did not have the post set to let me know when someone did post on here. We do not write in Canada, Alaska, or Hawaii.

As they say- don't run a car on the track you can't afford to wreck and write off.
Generally one who is not supposed to have negative character,If the insurance is not fabricated in the driving event then how could one survive with his wrecked car?I think if any damage caused in an event or incident is responsible to the concerned authorities.

Based on the recommendations here, I called Robbin at Midwest Classics. 1-888-271-4000. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for insurance. He's knowledgeable, and the insurance was exactly what I needed. His quote was very reasonable…and he did what he said he was going to do…when he said he’d do it.

I highly recommend Robbin to anyone shopping for insurance. Shop around first…but make sure you ask the other companies when you can drive the car. Their answers will shock you.

I probably just got lucky but back in 2006 when I called up USAA, my auto/home ins., they asked me basic questions and I stated it was a 2005 cobra replica and they were fine with it. I did have to talk to a second level insurance person of some sort but I'm fully insured with no restrictions what so ever.

I'm with State Farm. A few months ago, my cobra decided to try and move a concrete pillar without me in it. Result: 8 inch gash in the nose.

Total repair bill over $15,000. State Farm handed me a check, no problems.

I think I'll stay with them. It isn't the price, it's the way you are treated when you need them.

Be happy you are not in Nova Scotia. Looks like the only insurance option for a kit car is for facility insurance (with fellow insured motorists that have DWI's and other character flaws).

I have an agreed value policy with Allstate and had to make a relatively minor claim a few years ago....no troubles at all.

I found the rate to be very reasonable....


Good Luck !

It looks like 4 years ago they were heavily loaded with restrictions but seemingly now that doesn't seem to be the case.

Is there an insurance company that will *truly* let you daily drive your Cobra/Daytona five days a week to work?
