The Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars. The back and sides resemble a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass/442 [http://www.oldsclubofflorida.com/Images/Members/Hoke442r.jpg], but the grille has a resemblance to a 1970 AMC Rebel, the front is similar to a 1970 Buick GSX [http://www.classiccar.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/177/cat/53] (the headlights and the shape of the bumper is also similar to a 1970 Cutlass) and the front bumper's turning signals are similar to a 1968 or 1969 Dodge Coronet. The paintjob seems to look like that of a [[:wp:Ford Mustang Mach 1|Mustang Mach 1]] with some characteristics of a [[:wp:Shelby Mustang|Shelby Mustang]]. The hood on some Sabre GTs resembles that of a 1968 Shelby Mustang. Overall, the look created emulates a 1970 Chevelle SS (and probably explains why it is manufactured by Declasse). Another possible source of inspiration is the [[:wp:AMC Rebel|AMC Rebel]]. | The Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars.

The Sabre GT is remarkably similar to the [[Sabre Turbo]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. The stripes featured on some Sabre GTs look much like the ones on the Sabre Turbo, except the stripes do not continue all the way down the hood to the front of the car. The words "Sabre Turbo" are painted on the lower sides of the car, just in front of the rear wheels. | The Sabre GT is remarkably similar to the [[Sabre Turbo]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]].
