Replicas

Replicas should duplicate vehicles that are no longer in production, such as '50s Porsche Speedsters or '20s Mercedes Benz Roadsters. Because the quality of these vehicles' construction can vary greatly, we may require additional documentation of the vehicle's condition prior to offering a policy. To qualify for our program, replicas must meet the following requirements:

  • Minimum value is $3,500
  • Minimum value is $15,000 for Shelby Cobra replicas (because of the power and performance these replicas may have, additional underwriting criteria may apply)

Other modified vehicles, such as lowriders and tuners, must meet additional underwriting criteria.
