jaysm35a2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well I tried for an insurance quote and ifo with Grundy Collector Insurance company for my antique trucks. Maybe I took the (im sure auto reply) reply from them a little wrong but I figured id let you guys know not to waste your time.Heres my reply from them.Sent: Wednesday, September 7, 2011 12:36 PMSubject: RE: Insurance Quote SubmissionDear Mr. Bennett,Thank you for submitting your information to the Grundy Insurance underwriting department. Unfortunately, we are unable to insure this vehicle because it does not have any significant collector status and will not qualify for our program. This program is designed for collector and antique vehicles used and maintained for those purposes. We wish you the best in finding the appropriate coverage for this vehicle.Respectfully,GRUNDY INSURANCE--- So antique Mack trucks are not of collector status nor an Antique or collector vehicle. --- Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20495-grundy-insurance-comapany-doesnt-not-insure-antique-trucks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 P.S.Condon and Skelly antique vehicle insurance wont insure big trucks - I understand that one.Gulfway wont insure me for another year. I had a speeding ticket 4 years ago (only one ever) and you have to have a perfect record for 5 years.

fxfymn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You can also try J.C. Taylor in Upper Darby, PA. They carry my insurance on the Mack.

fxfymn Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Edit - Doesnt J.C. Taylor require them to be in show room ground up restoration?All they asked me for was a picture of the rig. I have insured two rigs through them and neither was in restored condition.They allow you to set the value of the truck and than they price the policy based on your value. I set the Mack at 12K and it costs me around $100.00 per year for coverage. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

jaysm35a2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thank you. I am waiting to hear back from them and Continental Western out of MN.The thing that pissed me off so much was Grundy saying older Mack trucks arent worth insuring.

Taylor require them to be in show room ground up restoration?Absolutely NOT. I just (as in last month) signed up with JC Taylor after having been with Condon & Skelly for 8 years. All JC Taylor wanted was a photo of my truck, which is in "original" condition.

1958 F.W.D. Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 P.S.Condon and Skelly antique vehicle insurance wont insure big trucksWho says C & S wont insure big trucks?? I was with them for 8+ years with my '58 FWD Firetruck (24' long and 18000lbs) I know many firetruck guys with rigs bigger than mine who are with C & S.....By the way I went to JC Taylor due to them having a Towing/Breakdown/Flat Tire addendum for 12 bucks a year, also C & S never offered this.
