I'm looking into buying a 1998 camaro Police ,and, since it's not listed as a "Z28" in the GM option book, I was wondering if I could list it as a Camaro "coupe" and save myself an a$$load of dough on Insurance?

Please tell me you can do it!Anything except $3000+ yearly premiums !

 

most insurance companies will automatically list it as a z28. you shouldnt see any higher of a premium as anyone else. they ask if its a 6 or 8 cylinder. the ones around here dont care if its z28, b4c, zl1 etc.

 

so,is the insurance rate lower, cause the car looks like a v6, so would the rate be the same as a v6?


Just hoping.

 

they will ask v6 or v8, anyway they can tell from the vin#.

 

I've insured my car in two different states - both times they just asked me for the VIN - came back as a "Camaro Z28/SS" in both cases. Just answer them truthfully whatever they ask, don't want them to deny a claim in case the worst happens.

 

$3000 yearly premium? How old are you 16? Thats alot, i pay about 1100 full covergage a year and i'm 22 with a couple of tickets.

 

i started driving at 17. my first car was a geo storm. full coverage and full tort was $3900/year.

 

When i was 16 i had a twin turbo Rx-7, insurance was right around 3000 a year full cov. but damn 3900 on a geo storm thats insane, did you have an ls1 in there?

 

Doubtful. As another poster said, your insurance company will want the VIN, and from that they can tell exactly what model it is.

 

...and the least you want is insurance fraud
