There is no “book value” on a classic car. The difference between two 1967 Ford Broncos can literally be $140,000. A non-running Bronco with rust on the frame and gaping holes in the floors can still go for around $4,000. In the last year, four beautifully restored first-generation Broncos with LS or Coyote engine swaps have sold on Bringatrailer.com for over $120,000.

yes, shippers have insurance. but will only pay claims involving carrier negligence. If they’re hauling your car on an open trailer and a wheel comes loose on the car in the next lane and blows the door off your classic car, that’s not their fault. a decent charger will probably try to get it right, but not always.
You should protect your investment yourself before loading it on a trailer and you should be in touch with your insurance provider long before it happens. that’s true of any car, but it’s especially true of classic vehicles and the agreed value policies they’re often protected by.
