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.
