In [[The Lost and Damned]], the [[Declasse]] 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. An email sent by Rockstar indicated that the car was not actually drivable in the game. It does, however, return in The Ballad of Gay Tony and is a common sight early in the game. | In [[The Lost and Damned]], the [[Declasse]] Tampa appears in the opening cutscene in front of the Pay N' Spray.

The front of the Tampa resembles a [[wp:Dodge Dart#1970–1976|1970/1971 Dodge Dart]]; the roof and sides of the car are reminiscent of the [[wp:Chevrolet Nova#Third generation|'68-72 Chevrolet Nova]] (but with less of a fastback profile; the rear is reminiscent of a [[wp:Dodge Charger (B-body)#1968-1970|1968 Dodge Charger]]. The stripe across the back is similar to the bumblebee stripes on [[wp:Dodge|Dodge]] vehicles. Being a muscle car, its engine sound is similar to that of a [[Sabre GT]] or [[Dukes]]. It can be seen sporting one all-over color, or with a double-stripe scheme. | The front of the Tampa resembles a [[wp:Dodge Dart#1970–1976|1970/1971 Dodge Dart]]; the roof and sides of the car are reminiscent of the [[wp:Chevrolet Nova#Third generation|'68-72 Chevrolet Nova]] (but with less of a fastback profile; the rear is reminiscent of a [[wp:Dodge Charger (B-body)#1968-1970|1968 Dodge Charger]].
