Wideopen Muscle: The Rarest Muscle Car Convertibles

Climb inside these stunning muscle car droptops, straight from the classic era of American highperformance cars!Today's rarest, priciest, and most highly soughtafter muscle cars are also the least practical. These are the striking convertibles of the 1960s and 1970s that were optioned out for drag racing. WideOpen Muscle showcases these rare cars and proves that sometimes it pays to throw practicality out the window in order to make something purely cool and fun to drive.At the peak of drag racing popularity, it was common knowledge that racers needed the lightest, most rigidframed cars available. Convertibles represent the exact opposite of that description, so it's amazing that these drop tops ever emerged amid the circle of fullthrottle dragsters. While typical convertible drivers cruised around listening to the latest Lovin' Spoonful release in the eighttrack tape deck, these musclecar convertibles were equipped for rock 'n' roll speed. These topless muscle cars are so rare because few people had the dedication (or money) to buy a vehicle this impractical. They're valuable because they represent the absolute extreme of the entire musclecar genre.All the cars in WideOpen Muscle are shot in similar fashion, studiostyle with a black background using a process known as light painting. It is the ultimate portrayal of the ultimate muscle cars.
