Mike ordered his car shortly before I did. I am aware of his story. At that time, John said I'd have my car in "about five months". I consider myself lucky to have gotten my car 25 months later. I had to order the transport and tell John that the car was going to be picked up regardless of its state. This all transpired after a cross country trip to verify that the car even truly existed. As it was, I didn't get the top, tonneau, and side curtains I had paid for - and have had to do considerable refinements to the car since I have had it. Refer to the following link for more info:
