Each ERA that is built is a custom built car. They don't build spec cars to ship to dealers. The details that YOU want, plus the tremendous chasis & engineering detail, are what makes it a really special car. Peter Portante, the GM / head guru, is THE guy who prepares ALL QUOTES. Bob Putnam is the head engineer. The waiting time varies, and is different according to what you are buying. A kit to build yourself, as an unpainted roller, is probably 4-6 months. A painted roller or "turnkey minus" might be 9 months. A turnkey, motor installed etc., ready to drive, might be 9 - 12 months, depending on how busy they are. My ERA is my second cobra. I had another brand that I bought used, for two years, and had a chance to drive an ERA (after I had read their spec sheet and manual a dozen times), and that was it - sold my old one and put a deposit on a new ERA. It's been a blast - including the 3 visits to New Britain to see the car in varying stages of build. Enjoy your new ride. Rickd
