Default Insurance for Shelby GT

How do insure the Shelby GT? I asked my insurance co. and they don't have a category for Shelby GT. Do you insure it under GT or GT500?

It comes up as a GT, get GAP coverage with your insurance, that way if anything happens your loan will be paid in full. GAP costs about $2 a month, so it's worth it. I have American Family Insurance and am 33, its $77/month with full coverage (100/300/100) and a $500 deductible.

Yourstatement "but allstate knows the value of the car so its going to be expensive"is an absolute falsehood.AllStatecan't use thefact that it is "a Shelby" to boost your insurance rate up higher than what you would pay as any 23 year-old person would for an off-the-lot GT. And if they are then you really need to find a better insurance company.

The Shelby GTVIN's out as a Mustang GT and that is the sum extent that you need to provide (the VIN number only) to an insurance company when getting it insured. If the owner wants to go on and blow their mouth off to boast to the insurance company that it is "a Shelby" (ooooooo wow!!!) then they are an idiot that person needs to learn when to speak up and when to just shut up.

And the insurance company covering a claim is bound to restore the car to the original condition immediately prior to the incident causing the claim. So whether it has special fascia pieces or suspensions as SHelby GT's do have, the insurance comapny has to replace them with the same parts...they can't just turn it back intoa pre-Shelby"off-the-lot" Mustang GT.

My insurance actually went down when I bought my 2008 SGT. I had a 04 GT that I traded in for the 08 and it went down about $10 a month. And I'm only 28.

Yeah, I agree. If you're dumb enough to tell them it's a Shelby instead of telling them it's a Mustang and giving them the vin number, you deserve whatever you get.

Believe it or not my Ins. is less on the GT500 than it was on the Bullitt!

The Shelby GT is insured as a GT with the Shelby Package just like any other package, It is still a GT...........
