[[GTA III Era|Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories]], it appears to be based loosely on a [[wp:First-generation Ford Mustang|1964-68 Ford Mustang]], mostly due its small size and name since there are no other remarkable similarities; but the grille loosely resembles a 1969/1970 [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Third Generation - 1968-1972|Oldsmobile Cutlass]] (also the [[:wp:Oldsmobile 442|Oldsmobile 442]]) (creating a look similar to an [[:wp:Oldsmobile Omega|Oldsmobile Omega]]), and the back bumper looks loosely based on those of 1970-1972 Cutlasses (but this is less obvious in the GTA SA rendition).

The chassis is more like 1968-69 Oldsmobile Cutlasses but the sides bear the aggressive, heavily creased, lines of 1970-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlasses; the rear end looks like that of a 1971 or 1972 Cutlass (the "STALLION" marque is rendered above the bumper much like the "OLDSMOBILE" marque) with extra lights. The headlights are surrounded by headlight bezels similar to the ones on a 1968 Cutlass. Its engine is a 347ci (5.6 litre) V8. It is similar in appearance to the [[Clover]] from GTA San Andreas. | ||
