The Tampa is one of the gang cars used by the [[Da Nang Boys]], a gang based in [[San Fierro]]. It has no rims, and multiple paint colors on different panels of the car, indicating it was put together with spare parts from a junkyard. It resembles a 1965-1969 [[wp:Chevrolet Corvair|Chevrolet Corvair]], except it isn't rear-engined and it has a grille. It also appears to be over-scaled and in comparison to some under-scaled cars, as it looks much larger than an old compact. | The Tampa is one of the gang cars used by the [[Da Nang Boys]], a gang based in [[San Fierro]].

In [[The Lost and Damned]], the Tampa appears in the opening cutscene in front of the Pay N' Spray. It is also featured in the BradyGames Strategy Guide for the episode. There was speculation by fans that the vehicle was available to drive outside of the cutscene, and the claims were backed up by lines in the game code which specify the handling and animations of the car. However, an email sent by Rockstar indicated that the car was not actually drivable in the game. <ref>[http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=400604&st=0 GTAForums.com -> Has anyone seen a tampa]</ref> | |||
The front of the Tampa resembles late '60s to mid '70s Chrysler A-platform compact cars such as the 1970/1971 [[wp:Dodge Dart#1970–1976|Dodge Dart]]; the roof and long sides of the car are reminiscent of the [[wp:Chevrolet Nova#Third generation|'68-72 Chevrolet Nova]]. The stripe across the back is similar to the bumblebee stripes on [[wp:Dodge|Dodge]] vehicles. | |||
