Actually, the blower pulley has been changed because it’s missing the blower guard. Those are only removed when a larger aftermarket pulley is put on. Probably the most common modification.
NOCAR: The blower is original, the blower pulley is original. The original blower pulley guard is off the car, but goes with the sale. Owner, John J. Garvey

HELLO ARMY. My Dad was Lt. J.G. USN at end of WWII. Actually a paratrooper in 101st Airborne. That's a great story I would like to share with you.
Owned car for 1.5 years, since September 2016. I am not sure how many miles I put on the car 5-8,000. I am in NW Oklahoma City. Cobra is garaged, and will not be driven another mile until it is sold. Car has only been drive 75,011 miles since 2004 (5358 miles per year). The little Cobra needs nothing, just serviced in April at Joe Cooper Ford of Edmond. Come and get it - the first tank of gas is on me. Owner, John J. Garvey

Read the tab that says " The Bad."
The Bad
-Front and rear bumper have the infamous competition orange fade, so the paint is not a 100% match.
-The hood has rock chips from highway driving.
-The passenger OEM headlamp has a piece broken off internally so the car currently has remanufactured headlamps (but I still have the OEM ones).
-Vehicle has holes in the front bumper from a front mounted license plate (we bought the car from New Jersey).
-I think the syncros might be going out in the transmission, intermittently it is difficult to put the car into gear when idling or at a stoplight.

MY DAUGHTER WROTE THIS POST. THESE ARE HER WORDS NOT MINE. THERE IS NO DISCOLORATION ON THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS. THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THE CAR IS ONE COLOR, COMPETITION ORANGE, NOT FADED HERE AND THERE - LIKE YOU SEE ON A FIRST GENERATION MIATA WITH PLASTIC BUMPER COVERS AND SHEETMETAL SIDE BY SIDE. // I SPOKE OF THE LIGHT ROCK CHIPPING ON THE HOOD. THERE ARE NO DENTS OR LARGE MARKS, IT LOOKS LIKE A SALT SHAKER, I MENTIONED THIS IN MY AD. // PASSENGER LIGHT REPLACED UNDER ACTIVE OWNER MAINTENANCE. ORIGINAL GOES WITH THE CAR. // NEW JERSEY REQUIRES A FRONT LICENSE PLATE - SEVERAL STATES REQUIRE SAME. AM I PENALIZED FOR THE 4 UNIFORM HOLES IN THE BUMPER COVER? // I DO NOT AGREE WITH MY DAUGHTER'S ASSESSMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES A NEW BMW TO WORK EVERY DAY - THOSE CARS SHIFT LIKE A WARM KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER - IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR. I HAVE ONLY OWNED ONE 2004 COBRA - I HAVE NOTHING TO COMPARE IT WITH - THE CLUTCH TAKES A STRONG LEFT LEG, AND THE GEARBOX SHIFTS LIKE A MUSCLE CAR WITH A MECHANICAL GEARBOX. - ANY ONE MAY CALL ME - AND TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS CAR.
I THINK ITS DISINGENUOUS TO ATTACH A POST FROM ANOTHER SITE - WITHOUT ASKING ME ABOUT THE PARTICULARS FIRST - OWNER, JOHN J. GARVEY (405) 760-3883

Why do you need to put your full “John J Garvey” after every post?
I do not "need to", but I do want to make sure the reader knows who wrote each post. I will respond to every post regarding my car, whether it is positive or negative. You also seem to take offense to my statement "full disclosure". I am not a dealer. I am hiding nothing. I want to sell this Cobra and move on. I enjoyed owning the car, but I would like to drive something else. Is there anything else I can do for you? Respectfully, (Owner) John J. Garvey

His daughter must be an SVTP junkie to even know about the comp orange fade, or that people go bat crazy about license plate holes. I'm impressed.
