Nope. Doesn't have to be QQ. But it is restrictive.
How old are you? This your only ride? Does it stay outside?

Your rates with any carrier are going to be astronomical. Is there any reason why you can't be on a parents plan?

Just curious, is the trans am your only car? I am insured with geico, and I have my 91 pickup and my 79 z28 insured with them. I have the truck listed as my daily driver and the camaro listed as a "pleasure car." For the camaro its only $180 every six months. Having a car to list as a daily driver I'm sure keeps the costs down a lot. Also, I'm a 21 year old male with a clean record.
Depending on what they are charging you, it may actually be to your benefit and be cheaper to have a $500-$1000 dollar beater to keep your trans am from being a daily driver.

Oh a bad record is going to kill you thats why its so expensive...someone with a bad record+trans am is high risk for any insurance company. Seems like that'll be the price of driving for you until you get a different car

Classic insurance places (Hagerty, Grundy) also ask about your record and won't write you if you are 'high risk'.

I have unitrin direct. I have 8 points, my firebird and 924 insured is only 1800 a year. About 1200 with just one car. I have a 4 payment deal per 6 months and they work out to 150 each. I had to put 300 and change down to get the policy tho

I woudl say the best you can do at your age, with your record, is to get a company to write a seasonal policy. Basically the car is insured half the year, most policies I have read about run April through September with a limited use carrier.
For a full coverage policy or a policy that is at least worth more than the paper it is written on, yer pretty much beat.
Save your cash, get a $500 beater to drive every day and maybe you can afford to add the 79 as a pleasure vehicle some time down the road.

I know you said that the car just sits in the garage...do you ever drive it though? If not you should look into covering it for comp only (no liab listed) you would prob need to just show proof that u returned plates to dmv...and may perhaps have to put it in writing that the veh is not being driven and is it kept parked at pol addr. I know its not terrible expensive but it will cover the car for comp (the only thing it would really need if it sits in the garage---theft, fire, vand, flood, etc). Just a suggestion.
