- The AC Frua or AC 428 is a British GT car of the 1960s and early 1970s. Built by AC Cars from 1965 to 1973, it is extremely rare with only 81 cars built in total, 49 coupés (known as fastbacks), 29 convertibles and 3 special bodied. The car is built on the AC Cobra 427 Mark III race-bred coil springs chassis but extended by 6 inches (150 mm). 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 huge and the cars could not be sold at a competitive price. Unlike similar cars such as the Iso Grifo, Iso Rivolta, and Monteverdis and De Tomasos of the period, the AC Frua features fully independent racing based coil spring suspension. It is often confused with the very similar looking Maserati Mistral also designed by Pietro Frua. (There is a common belief that the two cars share most of their body panels, but in reality only the front quarter windows and the door handles are the same.)
- AC 428 är en gran turismo, tillverkad av den brittiska biltillverkaren AC Cars mellan 1965 och 1973. I mitten av sextiotalet hade AC inte mycket att erbjuda sina kunder. Cobran hade till stor del tagits över av Shelby. Slutmonteringen skedde i USA, där majoriteten av kunderna fanns och där marknadsfördes den som Shelby Cobra. När Cobra 427 introducerades, tog AC fram en egen gran turismo-bil på dess chassi. AC 428 introducerades med öppen kaross, senare tillkom en coupé. Tillverkningsprocessen var komplicerad. Chassin skeppades till Italien, där Pietro Frua byggde karossen. Frua hade även stått för formgivningen. Därefter skickades bilarna vidare till Storbritannien för slutmontering. Motorn var en V8 på 428 cui från Ford. Logistiken gjorde bilen dyr och totalt tillverkades inte fler än 59 täckta och 21 öppna bilar.
