The AC 429 was a one-off coupe that AC Cars had built in 1970, a special version of the AC 428 grand tourer. It was based on a long bodyshell that the Italian coachbuilder Pietro Frua had made for Monteverdi, where it was meant to become the second Monteverdi 375/L with chassis number 2002. When the alliance between Monteverdi and Frua broke apart in the summer of 1969, that bodyshell stayed in the Frua works in Turin. About a year later Frua changed some details at the front and rear, including semi-hidden headlamps like those on the Iso Lele and the second series Iso Grifo, and the result was named the AC 429. It never went into series production and remained a single car, a footnote to the story of the 428 that AC and Frua built on a stretched Cobra chassis.
