Its hot.
It looks like #150 rear suspension knuckle recall was never done. The parts are d99 backorder with Ford. Do I have a chance at still getting this fixed or do I have to live with the chance it will break and damage the car or cause a crash?

if there is an outstanding recall they are obligated to fix it. i just had the hand brake recall done and they had to do some research to figure out the correct part as the original part number had been updated.

It would be good to becable to keep the original part.
I'm sure that a recall is still considered "original" due to the dealer/factory requirement... but for off the assembly line original, I'd like to keep it as is.

Hello all! Excited to be a member. @CGoeschel I am speaking with a seller of a 2000 Cobra R who has indicated his car is #150. Did you part with the car or know the seller? Would appreciate any additional background as I work to verify VIN, etc. Thank you

Thank you! Unfortunately, it turns out that the car was not authentic and the ad was a scam. Disappointed to say the least, and back to square one. I am, however, very thankful for discovering this forum as the extra knowledge gained from researching threads here has already been invaluable. I'm not giving up! If anyone knows of a good example for sale, please let me know.

Thanks again all.

Sorry about that! I have run into scams while looking for cars. The classic setup is a posting for a car in storage in the middle of nowhere and the seller is stationed overseas in the US military. I’ve had this a couple times. As soon as I mention I am an airline pilot that can travel for free and I’d like to go look at the car, communication stops.

Not sure what motivates these crooks to try and steal other people’s money. Why not just go earn an honest living...?

Don’t give up eltee. The car is worth the hunt!

Sorry to hear about that! #150 currently sits on the showroom floor at team Ford Lincoln in Las Vegas and gets out for a drive to a car show here and there.

Thanks for following up! I'm glad #150 gets out and about. Still on the hunt myself but hopefully will find a good one before too long...
