Theme Tuesdays: Widebody American

Nov 15, 2011

When the subject of wide bodies comes up in the circles I travel in people rarely ever mention American examples.

Probably because euro and JDM widebody builds are much easier to find online, at shows, and on the track, but if you look hard enough American builds are plentiful.

Several of them dating back to when fuel efficiency wasn’t considered and there was no replacement for displacement.

I might have colored a little outside the lines of ‘stance’ with this post but what is wrong with a little function now and again? Also I would love to see a few more pro touring styled cars on the road.

widebody_muscle_1 — Holy crap is this ever wide

widebody_muscle_2 — This one is subtle as it isn't really flared out so much as stretched horizontally

widebody_muscle_5 — Dated but pretty badass looking T/A

widebody_muscle_6 — Not the only z28 on todays hitlist

widebody_muscle_8_dominator_gta — You might remember this Fox from the fan page... it was known as the Dominator GTA

widebody_muscle_9 — Participated in an 89 road and track event

widebody_muscle_10_cyclone — This is a Cyclone

widebody_muscle_7 — Super bird esque wing

widebody_muscle_12 — and some say American cars can't go around corners...

widebody_muscle_15 — Widebody Mustang II on beebs? Need bigger photos

widebody_muscle_13 — Good. God. (got an american heart)

widebody_muscle_14 — So you've been letting this sit on your lawn for 35 years what do you do?

Drive it:
