I'm looking into doing collectors insurance/registration and many people recomended Grundy. Well I called, got a quote and had them send me an application. Today I get a letter saying my vehicle does not meet their requirments. I called to see what the problem was and the lady said they no longer insure Grand Nationals due to a high claim rate 2 years ago! Is this just a Jersey thing?
Grundy not covering GN's???
- Thread starter big_buick
- Start date
It could be a Jersey thing... or they're classifying it wrong. It doesnt fall into classic, It would be exotic or special interest. Im waiting for my paperwork from them as well Just spoke to them last week on the phone. Im waiting patiently for my paperwork via snail mail....
Hope this helps

My renewal was DEC. They took my $$ so I assume it is still insured.
Originally when I called they said no to a GN
So I called back 5 mins later to have them check under t-type
BINGO I got a YES.
Alot depends on the phone jerk that picks up your call. Insurance companies are the cheapest bastar ds going. They hire agencies to do the work. most these people are DUMB!
Otherwise it is a JERSEY thing.

I am 33 and married.
I have an '87 GN that is modified, and I did tell them that.
I even told them I plan to continue modifying it.
I renewed my insurance not too long ago without any problems.
My car is registered in one state, stored in another, and I live outside the states.
But, like someone else said, you could talk to two different people and get two different stories on what they do and don't cover.
Try WWW.Condonskelly.com There in Cherry Hill NJ. I have them just renewed 214 a year insured for 15000. I believe the owner has a GN.
As far as "collectors registration" you don't change registrations you keep the one you have. Have to call MV and ask for an Application for Collectors vehicle status. It cost 25 I believe. They then send you a voucher to bring to the inspection station. The car doesn't go thru inspection they just check your milage and your insurance papers and you get this orange triangle inspection sticker. Also you don't change your plates,you keep the ones you have
Beware when you go to inspection there going give you a hard time. And try to inspect the car Just show them the letter MV gives you with the Collectors voucher it says no inspection just to check for milage and insurance. The guy at the Paramus inspection station would'nt pass me because I had dark tint on the windows. Had him call Trenton and a hour later had my inspection sticker. Good thing about the collectors inspection no emission test or anything

Thanks guys, Got my collector application from MV (after they sent me the historic one first 
) I think i'm going to try American Collectors Ins.
I'm still confused though i didn't even get a chance to give any info to grundy.
One more thing, can i take the collect apl. and renewal to a walkin Dmv or do I have to mail it to trenton?
