The Split Camaro is a very interesting thing. The guys at State Farm Insurance wanted to showcase the impact of modification on insurance rates and vehicle value. Seeing as restoration is also considered as modification, they realized they had to build to cars; one restored, one modified. Instead, they made the Split Camaro, which is half modified, half restored!
The car is utterly bewildering when you get up close with it. The attention to details in the Split Camaro is simply mind-boggling. The body, the interior, even the engine is half stock like it came out of factory in 68, and half heavily tricked-out with modern features.
Jay Leno calls it “the cross-dressing Camaro“.
Okay, then what was State Farm’s conclusion? That Old clapped out Camaros are more or less insurable than those with all manner of restofications conceived by owners with no apparent credentials? That they would underwrite the risks anyway? Or leave them to the specialists like Hagerty, who in most cases are not the underwriters but only the brokers to the source? I think this article is what Wiki calls a Stub, needing fleshing out.
