It isn't a market value policy he is trying to get from State Farm. It is an agreed policy. I have one on my 89 speedster with State Farm. The only problem with State Farm is they don't know the values. As my Speedster kept appreciating, I called them once a year requesting a bump up in agreed value. They said they couldn't go any higher without proof. I had to supply them sales from the big auction houses, along with Hagerty price guide, before they would increase the value to my now $200,000.
What's odd about State Farm is they set up a big booth at Mecum Auctions, that reads, "Classic Car Insurance" But they don't know classic car values!

Btw, awesome looking car. Even when it's inverted!!
