I'm confused, why is your own insurance company involved? This should be covered by the club's insurance, and if they have the MCA insurance, it would be Heacock Classic.

I contacted my insurance company knowing I was fully covered with no deductible. I thought there would be less hassle. Silly me. I was an insurance adjuster for 13 years and when a customer presents a claim with full coverage you take care of them. I figured Grundy, after paying for the damages, could just subrogate against Heacock.

Heacock / Specialty Claims finally contacted me yesterday. I believe VMOA dragged their feet in contacting MCA about the incident. They still have not set a date for the inspection of the car.

Well, I'm glad Heacock finally got hold of you. I sure hope everything works out well.

An Independent appraiser representing Heacock called me a little while ago and will be inspecting the car on Monday. I'll keep updating since it looks like this topic is important to many of you. The collector car insurance companies talk a good game and have no problems taking your money. When you actually need them their true colors show. So with my incident we can actually compare two carriers.
