10 years of going to look at it, and ask over and over if the guy would sell it, and for 10 years the expected "No, I'm going to restore it" bullshit. So it kept rusting away. Finally the guy got so sick he needed to sell it to pay medical bills, and John Allen finally bought his AMX back. ( I'm always irritated at 2 things, that "I'm going to restore it someday" and a magazine not having the balls to say what the final price was)
