Hi Scott,
After AC finished building the Cobra for CS they built a new car
as a succesor called the AC 428. Mine is registered as MX-1 (special project). The main difference in my chasis versus the 7 litre Cobra chasis was that many of the rose joints from the suspension wishbones were replacedrubber and metalastick bushes in the interest of quietness. When the new Italian designed body arrived they built another chasis which is longer than mine by six inches.
Brian Angliss (AC) provided the AC Cobra body via Shelby Performance (Sacramento California) and all other Shelby parts were assembled in the USA including the engine.
Regards,
Mike
