I HATE discontinued items

[NotchbackBart]

Over the last few years Ive aquired alot of OEM 93 cobra parts and the majority made it on the coupe. I never found the upper intake, well except for the cheapy chinese ones, so I used the explorer upper. Well I finally found and original 93 upper for $105 and snatched it up but it was minus the cobra decal. For the last 2-3 days I bet Ive emailed every major vendor I could think of that might have it, just to find out that they were discontinued and apparently every single leftover already had a home. After a few calls, I found a guy, locally (believe it or not...I was shocked), that had ONE. So, as bad as I hated to pay it, I did. Im somewhat afraid to take it out of the package now. I really really really hate discontinued stuff. They do it to make us squirm...dont they?

I know how you feel. Try finding rubber door seals for a turbo Mopar.

I just ordered one a couple of months ago I had no trouble? I will see if I can find the ad again.

[saleen_n_around]

Not even Blue Oval Industries or 5.0 Resto carries them?

[NotchbackBart]

not even. They were disc'd just 2-3 months ago. I found that out from CJ Pony Parts.

Sounds like trying to find parts for the 89-95 Thunderbird SC, mostly the sorry M5R2 5spd tranny that had parts specific for it and not the Ranger/F-150 tranny. OH well, the cars we love and the stuff we will/would do for them to make it right....

Sounds like my F-150. My fuel selector valve isn't working properly and I cannot locate a factory replacement for it.:wall: My only options are creatively engineer and aftermarket one in place or dismantle and hope that I can repair the existing one...:\

I've been looking for one for a month now. No luck here either.

www.fastpartsnetwork.com (http://www.fastpartsnetwork.com) - they have it?

on part # search it shows them having it. BUT, so did all the other places that I knew had them. when I called is when i got the, "nope we actually dont have it".

Dis, you can try this site, part # is F3ZZ-9E434-A. It was $51 when I pulled it up.

I had the same problem trying to find a throttle cable for a 96-98 Cobra. Ended up having to get an aftermarket POS from Lokar.

[Disney Lincoln]

I ordered one. Lets see how it works....

[Grimey]

Damn, 5 available at a buy it now of $99.99!!

People are going to have to start taking their's off before they go to bed at night or weld them on!

Has anyone compared the new chinese manifold to the old Cobra one? I know the new one has more casting flash (like the Typhoon) but what else is different?

[ReefBlueCoupe]

You'll never catch me with one of those knockoff pieces of **** on my car.

[Cannon Fodder]

Whats new, I'll probably be sticking a TFS top end on my car but I was curious about the new Cobra manifold. I think the Typhoons do well if you take a roll to them and clean them up.
