We had a guy in our Volunteer Fire Dept try to take apart this pump after a gear failure and you can see part of the carnage below. He went on to say the pump could not be repaired/rebuilt. I told him to give it to me, as I know a great machinist. He said he was a machinist and the pump couldn't be saved. Well, we saved it.

Saw this.


Not sure how something with only 3900 miles shows as much wear as this does.

That’s pretty amazing for only 3900 miles, I have seen 100,000 mile cars that looked better cosmetically.

That one piece up front underneath by heat exchanger is notorious for some rust, but yeah, that's a tad rough for that mileage. Look at how dirty the under hood area is,

That Cobra is pretty bad for the claimed 3,900 mileage. A ton of issues disclosed.

* Calvin and Hobbs decal near the right taillight (yippee)
* Windshield has been replaced
* Hood was repaired and refinished after it opened while the car was being driven
* Headlights show age
* Left door power window function is inoperable
* Drivers window is not working correctly
* Hood needs to be adjusted
* Trunk shows clearcoat fading
* Chrome five-spoke wheels show pitting
* Air conditioning is inoperable
* Driver’s seat upholstery is separating at the seam
* Door panel tops are starting to separate
* Leather-wrapped steering wheel shows wear
* Top of the steering wheel shows fading
* Corrosion is noted on underside components
* Engine bay is dirty (as Brad noted)

This comment from the Seller is pretty comical. Do potential buyers seriously belief that this car spent its life inside a garage? 3,900 miles and it looks like that?
"This car was BARELY driven… it isn’t like my brother abused or neglected the car… we unfortunately live in a state that is very harsh on any cars, even ones that stay inside the garage like his."
