I use a company called Classic Collectors Insurance, part o Great American
Insurance Companies. I pay $115 a year for full coverage and maximum
liability limits. Depending on stated value of the car and liability
limits, your premium could be significanly less (especially outside
California). Additional vehicles are covered for significantly less too. I
do have a 3000 mile limit and it does have to be garaged, but neither is a
problem for me. They offer lower and higher milage limits also. If you want
to get a quote, you can do it on their web site or call 800-252-5233
