Hagerty classic car insurance

[CamarosRus]

Hello, I'm seeking helpful advice....I bought a 69 Camaro VERY NICE Big Block "Driver". Car resides at friends home on East Coast and I live in Seattle burbs. I am/was planning on leaving car with friend to participate at a few 2005 Car Show/Cruise events.
So I call Haggerty to insure car. First of all I estimated annual driving milage at 5000 (Wild Ass Guess) which apparently thay didnt like. Then they want me to have an insured REGULAR use car at my friends house, so I want use the 69 for REGULAR use when Im visiting. Tryed to explain that when Im visiting I would be with friend for any regular transportation purposes.
Guess I should have just not have mentioned back east situation as Ive have Washington Lic Plates and Reg on car.
Haggerty quoted me $271 per year for $35K agreed policy (including flat bed towing). Grundy wanted over $400 for same thing......
Now I'm calling J.C. Taylor who said they wouldnt insure it in WA state because it had Headers (Day 2 car).
I also might be applying with Condon and Skelly......but will need to somehow prove that a VERY NICE COPO "clone" could be worth $35K....
