Chris,
I too use USAA for my Buick and my Dodge pickup. When I inquired
about my Sprite, they said that they would cover it but the replacement
value, should I total it, may (and probably) would not be very much -
hundreds. They actually suggested that I contact a classic/antique
insurance carrier as they are more in-tune with replacement cost figures. I
did and use J.C.Taylor for my Sprites.
It is a simple matter to call USAA for yourself and inquire.
Good luck,
Paul
