[alfa] Alfa value

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I rather liked bs's suggestion of putting a value of $10k on an 
Alfetta then "accidentally" (my addition) running it into a wall  might 
have a few flaws.

That said...Hagerty says you can value a car pretty much what you feel 
it is worth to you and if it is totaled they'll write you a check for 
the full amount.

I take that with a wee bit of the grain of salt. Since you need to send 
photos to them and unless the car is beyond pristine, I'm sure they 
would either (a) pay to have yours fixed or (b) find you an equivalent 
one - for considerably less than $10k.

Quite frankly it wouldn't take too much imagination (though many might 
argue, little sense) to dump $40k into an Alfetta GT. $10k paint job, 
Wilton carpeting, killer sound system, special wheels and tires, perhaps 
a custom TS with either turbo or supercharger along with a custom EFI 
system. Perhaps a custom aluminum radiator to go with the water (as 
opposed to only air) intercooler. Hang on to those receipts.

I'd guess they'd be stuck for the full amount - providing you didn't get 
whapped pulling out of the local A & P. Getting blind sided pulling out 
of the parking lot at the Pebble Beach concours - the check should be in 
the mail.
