kinda - i remember a few yrs back i wanted to insure a 1984 or 1985 GMC 3/4 tonne full size truck and they quoted me something rediculously high on one of those "lowest quotes web sites". basically i had no prob with my current insurance co. But ya - Ive heard some BS about older model vehicles being pricy for some reason - cant member why tho
if yer ride is 20 yrs old or older, youve had yer lisence for 10+yrs, and yer over a certain age (20 i think), then you can get special insurance (custom/classic/etc..) for super cheap
Ex:- my 2nd gen Camaro would only cost me like $300 for the year to insure, however with these companys ya need to have a seperate dedicated daily driver car and it must be insured, the specialty insurance is basically for pleasure use

The big problem is getting parts. It's easier for them to write off an older car than to try to sort out the parts to fix any damage. Heck, they don't even stock new parts anymore. Go to the dealer and they'll search the computer for a common parts and then tell you that there are 2 available in North America. Usually, in a warehouse as far from your location as possible.
Most companies will insure an older car but require an appraisal be done to prove it's value first.
