The AC Frua or AC 428 was a GT built by AC from 1965 to 1973.
The Frua is built on an AC Cobra 427 Mark III chassis extended by 6 inches Chassis were built at the AC plant in England then shipped to Frua's workshop in Italy where the body was fitted and then sent back to England to have the power train and trim added. The cost was high and the cars could not be sold at a competitive price unlike some other Italian built supercars the AC Frua features fully independent racing based coil spring suspension.
the car had immense performance; the big-block Ford FE engine had larger capacity, more torque and more power than similar Italian cars, but in a car of similar weight.
The AC Frua may be confused with the very similar looking Pietro Frua designed Maserati Mistral. However, only the front quarter windows and door handles are shared.
