How old does my car need to be to get classic insurance?

I recently bought an older Mustang car from a private seller. It’s a great car, and I want to make sure I properly protect it. How do I get classic car insurance?

Sounds like you found a sweet ride!
There are specific requirements that your car must meet to qualify for
classic car insurance
. First, the car must meet the age requirements to be considered a classic car—typically around 25 years or older. It also must have been restored to good operating condition in order to qualify.
Your classic car should also only be used for exhibitions or occasional leisure and should not be your primary mode of transportation.
