The '''Tampa''' is an old two-door compact that is available in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. It is one of the gang cars used by the [[Da Nang Boys]], a gang based in [[San Fierro]], together with the [[Buccaneer]] and the [[Manana]]. It can be found parked at the used car lot in [[Jefferson]], [[Los Santos]], and also can be found driving in the [[Easter Basin]] and [[Garver Bridge]] region 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. Even though the car can be upgraded to an excellent state at a mod shop, it will always have crooked license plates. It resembles a 1965-1969 Chevy 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 it looks much larger than a compact. | The '''Tampa''' is an old two-door compact that is available in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

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 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> | In [[The Lost and Damned]], the Tampa appears in the opening cutscene in front of the Pay N' Spray.

In GTA IV the front of the Tampa resembles late '60s to mid '70s Chrysler A platform compact cars such as the Plymouth Valiant; the stripe across the back is similar to that of the bumble-bee stripes on Dodge vehicles; the roof and long sides seem off another car though, somewhat like a '68-72 Chevrolet Nova. | In GTA IV the front of the Tampa resembles late '60s to mid '70s Chrysler A platform compact cars such as the Plymouth Valiant; the stripe across the back is similar to that of the bumble-bee stripes on Dodge vehicles; the roof and long sides seem off another car though, somewhat like a '68-72 Chevrolet Nova. | ||

*Once again in GTA San Andreas, a modded Tampa is used in the mission [[Puncture Wounds]]. The Tampa is modded with stinger traps to bust the tires of the vehicle needed in the mission (a [[Stratum]]). Although, if you save the Tampa in a garage, there would be no stinger traps modded in the car. | *Once again in GTA San Andreas, a modded Tampa is used in the mission [[Puncture Wounds]].
