AC 289 Sport For Sale

[Harpoon PV2]

I forgot something important about the last Cobra's. While most of us consider the AC 289 Sport as the last true Cobra's, just look at the body, technically, they were not the last! No I am not talking abought the many abnodations made here in the states, I'm talking about a true AC made in Thames Ditton UK! In the early days, contracts were flying around the world, between Ford, Shelby and AC. This allowed AC to use the name after 1967. Hence the AC 289, which never left the factory with a Cobra on the tail or nose, but many had at least one added to the nose by the owners. There was one more last gasp, on a car that also never had the Cobra on it from the factory, that was the AC 428 Frua. To find the Cobra you have to dig deep under the bonnet, CF, Cobra Frua. Hopefully, some one will prove me wrong, but I have never seen a picture of a Frua with the snake any where on it, but it was more a Cobra then the Ford incarnations. That's what makes the Cobra story so much fun, there's always a new twist! Cheers, Dennis
