Cobra R at Mecum

Nothing to be concerned about. Mine had a little bit of surface rust on it as well. Whatever metal it was made out of was obviously more susceptible to rust than the other metals around it. That top piece is basically just a washer.
Thanks for the help, your video has really helped me out a lot as well. Ive asked everything you pointed out. That's the only thing that caught my eye in the engine bay. Other than that just waiting for Friday to get more pictures of extra paperwork besides the window sticker and black binder
I know I'm being picky but I gotta ask 
Your car was mint, keep everything stock and clean just like me
and good choice on your new 350R red with no stripes bring back some 00R memories I hope
I’ve been watching it myself in the hopes one of our members here will get it.
You can see a bit of surface rust on the radiator support/mount on the passenger side and the engine bay isn’t the cleanest. There also appears to be something near the windshield wiper squirters on the drivers side cowl. The pedals also look quite dirty (the rubber and a little of the metal arm) as does the rectangular cubby behind the shifter.
I’m sure you’ve seen all of these yourself drooling over the car. I would expect a 480 mile car to be cleaner than this. Does it say where the car was from or how it was stored?
All of the above can be cleaned and resolved once you buy it. It’s a bummer that the owner couldn’t take 30min to clean it before trying to sell. On the other hand maybe it’s better off they didn’t.

I have to wait until Friday until Mecum gets the car for them to send me more pictures, hopefully he did clean it up and see the difference, because I still want to see the trunk and paper work as well. Very difficult to purchase something when you cant go see it in person

The owner is in Missouri but auction in Indianapolis, suppose to arrive Friday
Got it. I was going to be just north of St. Louis tomorrow and wondered if it was close by.

Thank you so much for the offer. They just told me car us already on the way to the auction. More pictures coming soon and notified them about those issues

I believe the most recent 00R sold for $60,500 on Ebay and it had 2800 miles. Somebody please correct me if they know better:
2000 Ford Mustang COBRA R | eBay
As such, I would expect the Mecum car to sell for much higher as the Ebay car appeared to be slightly modified and had higher mileage. No idea if stock parts were included.
