Newbie thinking about getting a 1970 sport Satellite Inspection and Insruance needs

[Acworld34]

Hey so i saw a 1970 sport satellite that is a column shifter and i wanted to purchase but thinking about the price and car insurance needs. The guy wants $8,800 for the car when i inspect what should I look for?

I will review the basics and look for leaks & rust and other things but i was wondering if there is anything specific to these cars that i need to look at.


I have Geico and they state they have classic car insurance.. I am wondering how much it would cost ( i don't have the VIN yet).

Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated.

That car was just sold on e-bay. Were you the winning bidder? I spoke to the seller. Not the original drive train. It was replaced with a 383 engine and a 727 trans. I would check that thoroughly. The seller claimed it was pretty clean, with minimal rust, but again, check it- frame rails, trunk, floor pans, etc. Insurance from Haggerty for that would be about $200 a year.

Welcome to the site!

Go with a company that only deals in classics. If you have a claim with run-of-the-mill carriers that have "classic" policies, you will not get the same benefits that the classic-only companies offer. And they will not be willing to pay restoration shop rates, only the "prevailing rate" for collision shops in your area.

Welcome and there are a few 'classic car insurance' threads on FBBO and others. FABO even has a whole forum devoted to it. Do your research to find the best deal and company for but a tip 'agreed value' is something to consider and how much they various ins co's / policy allow you to drive it annually.

Here you go .. read this
