They did make some, it was an aftermarket conversion. These were late second gens.

Here's a couple:

I don't think that body style lends itself to being a convertible very well. Just something not quite right about it.

Factory 70-81's were zero! The custom jobs I agree can look a little weird, and I hear cowl shake is NASTY!

this one just looked sooo good in this color combination, not the car itself so much.

I've never actually thought to know if there were any convertibles. That's something you don't realize unless somebody mentions it.
