If it started out as a nice car, why do I want it back as a wadded up mess ?

Because there are likely some parts you can harvest from it. Overdrive, transmission, seats, ...

Interesting reading... I too have Hagerty but have never had to file a claim, and hope I never do! Been with them for many many years.

I would ALWAYS want the remains of my vehicles back.Body ruined?Put another one on it.My Coupe had a Mitchell OD,and a Brumfield head.The Mitchell is in another Coupe I bought,and the head will go on my pickup.I will either find another body,or sell off the nice chassis.I sold a lot of nice parts off of the ruined body.Rumble lid and cushions,instrument panel,popout switch,handles,subrails,fenders and aprons,runningboards,step plates,etc.Some stuff I still have,and will either sell or use.Nice bumpers,wiper motor,chrome gearshift and brake levers,horn,luggage rack.Plus I ended up with a nice clean,running rolling chassis.There was almost no fire damage,the damage came from fighting the fire with a backhoe.They tried to rip out a section of floor,but pulled a car out through the cellar door instead.They ripped a couple of holes in the gas tank,but it still had a half tank of gas after the fire.

I've had Hagerty for years with on issues. Take lots of photos so there's no issues if you every have to file a claim.
