Hello, I’m looking at a sub 10k mile, one owner Cobra that is stock wearing the original tires, valve stem caps, bilsteins, pulley looks original etc. The car looks clean outside and inside. My concern and I’m not sure if there is a concern at all is the half shafts on the IRS where the CV boots are is showing a lot of surface rust. Forgive me if I didn’t appropriately describe that but that metal looks orange. I looked at some underside pics of cobras on bring a trailer and even those suspension components on the low mile ones seem to have some of that metal orange rust look.
So is it normal or a concern? This was an east coast car.
The underside on this car appears to be really nice aside from the rust I described. Looks like it wasn’t ever driven in the rain or very light weather if any. Still has the barcode assembly stickers with the birth date on the underside bumpers and even found a crumpled up paper that was intact and looks like the build sheet stuck up under the car.
