Yes! Hell, YES! 850

Between the salt trucks and the ocean salt spray mine has quite a patina under the hood. I've had tubes, pipes and fittings under the hood rust out completely. The rivets holding the muffler heat shield rusted out completely and the shield fell onto the muffler.

But if you mean major structural or floorpan rot, like the 240 was so famous for, no.
