Who ever got that O/W cobra on ebay I would check the odometer back. That had to have been changed by someone or it was drove 2 miles to work for year round. Still cant believe how rusty the rims and everything looked.

Are you stupid.. I owned that car. Rusty wheels.. Aluminum dont rust and they were not the original wheels for the car and yes it did have 21k miles.

Wow, touchy I see, I had no idea but I still think that the O/D was changed or just was parked outside year round. Was that one of the cars you bought at the salvage auctions? I think most people know aluminum doesnt rust, but thanks for the excellent lesson on AI13.

What I am saying for 21k miles, it doesnt present its self as such.

Giving out buying tips on cobras???? Didnt you just pay top dollar for a lemon on here? Not to jab the knife in further im sorry for your experience, but Erik (SONICSALEEN) is one of the most up front people in this business, if he says something you can take it to the bank....Very few of those people left IMO.

This makes my point even more valid. I wont buy a car off here sight unseen and if it doesnt look or feel right, run.

Not saying your wheels were rusty and you are correct about aluminum doesnt rust but the additives they use to make the wheels might. Just saying I worked in an aluminum factory and plenty of aluminum made products will rust because of the additives
