The Hellenbach GT, as depicted in GTA Liberty City Stories.

The Hellenbach GT is a beat-up muscle car found in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description

Despite its looks, distinguished by its different colored panels, the Hellenbach GT is quite a fast car and has great handling. It resembles a 1967-1970 Mercury Cougar, except for minor differences like the single headlights and added turn signals, and the sides are closer to a 1968 – 1970 AMC AMX.

The Hellenbach has an extremely high top speed, and beats the Banshee and Cheetah on top speed. It also has better handling, and can take a bit more of a beating.

How to get the car

The car can first be found in the mission Snuff for Vincenzo Cilli. It's a reward given by Joseph Daniel O'Toole after the player has killed a Sindacco leader. It can also be obtained by completing level 4 of the car salesman missions. It will be in the car showroom in Harwood. In Cedar Grove, Shoreside Vale, it can be found outside a garage, however, it won't always be there, sometimes there will be a Cheetah or a Banshee instead.

Trivia

  • The name comes from the phrase "From Hell and back", which most people say about the reliability of their old beaters.
  • The Hallenbach GT is comparable to the car Shean Baswell drives at the beginning of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", which is a Chevy Monte Carlo.
