Hehehehe.....generally, nobody is cheaper than USAA plus the service is
unbeatable. That said, I talked to USAA this morning, and they will insure
the car (full coverage will be approx $400/yr), however, they will require
some additional documentation that the vehicle isn't a rolling wreck
(photos, certified mechanic's affidavit, etc).
My concern now is that the frame isn't tweaked and there's not a ton of
bondo under the paint. Sure wish there was a way to run down the title
history.
So, if anyone in the San Jose area feels that they have the expertise to
confirm that this car is solid, please contact me offline. One kind person
in Hollister volunteered, but that's an hour drive (of course, maybe he's
looking for an excuse for a drive, lol). Here's some pics of the beastie:

Do not give up on a car because USAA will not insure it, If you want it
insured, get a policy through Hagerty. First off, its probably cheaper than
USAA, you are going to pay for a stated value policy instead of what you
have now, you are better all around.
