So this is happening...

[duhtroll]

I didn't need a new project but this has been dropped in my lap. It is the 350, not the 442 and it is a 1970 which IIRC is the last year for the higher compression on these. Other than the color (which someone told me is the Firebird blue and still GM but that's an opinion), it is all original and runs beautifully.

I am asking those who have collectors' insurance who they are going with. Hagerty (sp?) will cover it for $25K on these pics alone, but I am wanting all options since I feel it is worth only about half that.

I have a couple weeks until this is here so I want to have my ducks in a row, so to speak. Advice is appreciated. I'm also going to seek out the Olds boards for this car. Anyone local I am also looking for storage options since I only have an enlarged 2 stall garage and I don't want to park my daily outside in the winter anymore.

Sooo... rambling aside, insurance options, storage, and how tall does a garage ceiling need to be to fit one car under another on a lift? Also maybe possible.

I just wanna say "that is a beautiful car, congrats on the find."

Nice
If that is truly matching numbers engine, and has buckets/console shift - I'd insure it for $20k. Bench seat/column shift around $18k

Not getting a ragtop that clean for $12-$15k, nope.

It is buckets and floor shifter auto, IIRC - I have yet to see the car in person but will soon. And yes, it is all original/matching.
