EP = Explosion Proof FP = Flame Proof BARRACKS OL Can be obtained when playing the "Arms Shortage" mission from Ray. During the mission, the vehicle will be BP. It will be normal before and after the mission. BOBCAT You can obtain a BP/EP/FP Bobcat in the "Evidence Dash" mission from Ray. During the mission, the Bobcat that has the mission packages is BP/EP/FP. Flip the Bobcat over then push it to your hideout. Don't worry about the rest of the packages, as the game will generate another bobcat in town. CHEETAH You can obtain a BP/EP/FP Cheetah in the "Turismo" mission from El Burro. During the race, flip over one of the cheetahs than push it to your garage. (Special thanks to King_Vensfield of the Gamefaq community.) PATRIOT You will obtain a BP Patriot after completing the "Marked Man" mission from Ray. SECURICAR You can obtain a BP securicar in the "Van Heist" mission from Joey Leone. After damaging the vehicle, drive it to your hideout, and blow it up in your garage. SECURICAR You can obtain an EP securicar in the "Escort Service" mission from Donald Love. Shoot the vehicle to blow it up, then push it to your garage. STRETCH You can obtain a BP/DP/EP/FP Stretch in the "Salvatores called a meeting" from Toni. Once you visit Toni, then head to Joeys but DON'T go into the blue field. Instead, park a vehicle near the wall on the side of the building, then enter the speed-up cheat code, then run between the vehicle and the wall, this will cause you to walk-through the wall. Then enter the Stretch and backup into the blue field, the vehicle will regerate. Afterwards, drive it to your Staunton hideout by flying over the Callahan bridge. Head to 8-Ball's bombshop, rig the car with a timer bomb, then activate the car-bomb in your garage and leave, don't let the door shut! After the vehicle explodes, walk out letting the door shut, so the vehicle regenerates. TRASHMASTER (unofficial) You can obtain a BP Trashmaster in the "Blow fish" mission from Toni. Once you jack it in Harwood, try to fly over the Callahan bridge, than place it in your garage. There is a timer, so time is of the essence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (d) ONE-TIME-ONLY VEHICLES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAFIA LIMOUSINE You will only see this vehicle in the "Salvatore has called a meeting" and "Drive Maria for me" missions. The Stretch limousine comes in solid black. These are the only times you will see this particular color for the Stretch. Colors for the original Stretch include; White, Grey, and Dark Grey. (http://www.gta3.com/images/vehicles/mafiastretch.jpg) MAFIA RUMPO The only time this vehicle will ever show it's face in the streets of Liberty City is in the "Under Surveillance" mission from Asuka. The Rumpo is black and is parked in the Bedford Point district. To obtain this vehicle, simply drive up to it, get out of your vehicle. The mafia will do the same, shoot them then jack their Rumpo. (http://www.gta3.com/images/vehicles/mafiarumpo.jpg) MARTY CHONK'S SENTINEL Nothing special about this vehicle, but if you immediately run from the vehicle after hitting triangle to get out, the door won't shut, and you can get back in. After getting back in, the doors will lock. It's sorta funny watching the cops, thieves, or even hookers trying to open the locked doors. DEAD SKUNK IN TRUNK MANANA You will see this vehicle in the "Dead Skunk in the trunk" mission from Joey Leone. The objective is to jack a Manana near Greasy Joey's Cafe with a dead body in the trunk. Upon jacking the car, two Forelli brother's Sentinels will chase you. You'll only see this car during this mission. (http://www.gta3.com/images/vehicles/dsitmanana.jpg) GHOST MISSING Not a vehicle I recommend putting in your garage, but in a mission from Ray, the objective is to murder a fellow cop. He will be near the Lighthouse in Portland in a blue-greenish boat called "Ghost Missing". The vehicle is identical to the "Reefer", only there is no interior. D-ICE'S INFERNUS Pretty much the same as Marty's Sentinel. After the mission is complete, just run from the vehicle when exiting, so the door doesn't shut, then hop back in. The doors will lock, and noone can open them, not even cops. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (e) VEHICLE Q AND A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: Where can I find a full-wing dodo? I saw one flying in the sky, can I shoot it down and boost it? What about the full-wing Dodo that lands on the Francis Intl Airport runway in one of Asuka's missions? ANSWER: The full-wing Dodo is not available as a player vehicle, consider yourself lucky that Rockstar even gave us the clipped Dodo after the terrorist attacks. The Dodo flying in the sky can be shot down, you can even fly through it if you mastered flying the clipped Dodo. After you blowup the Dodo in one of Asuka's missions, the damage model is of the clipped Dodo. Another thing to keep in mind, a full-wing Dodo would be far to large to fit in any of your garages, so there's no point in having it in the game. = = = = = QUESTION: Where is the Maibotsu Monstrosity, it has to exist. They even have a picture of it on their website and in the instruction manual. There's even advertisement ads about it in the GTA3 radio stations! ANSWER: Sorry, doesn't exist. Many lamers on GTA3 messages boards claim to have found it, but those claimees are usually kids that haven't reached puberty and their brains haven't begun to function properly. The vehicle in the instruction manual is actually the "Landstalker". The website picture is nothing more than a toy RC car with "Monstrosity" written on the side. = = = = = QUESTION: Where can I find an Esperanto with front-wheel Hydraulics? I saw a video clip of it at Gamespot. ANSWER: Another vehicle that doesn't exist or at least not in the final version of GTA3. This vehicle was in the beta version of GTA3, but was removed from the final. My best guess is, that it was decided to leave the Esperanto as a normal vehicle, and create a gang-car with all wheel hydraulics, thus, the Yardie Lobo. = = = = = QUESTION: Where's the white Banshee? In the GTA3 commercials, it show's a white Banshee jumping the El-train Walkway in Portland. ANSWER: Actually, it looked like a white Yakuza Stinger. Because the body model was the Stinger, but it had a spoiler, in which only the Yakuza gang-cars have them. This was probably a beta edition of the Stinger, which not only a white paint scheme, but also a spoiler on the trunk lid. = = = = = QUESTION: In the instruction manual, it shows pictures of blue and white Police cars. How come the ones in-game are black and white? QUESTION: Liberty City was supposed to be based off of New York City, so the Police cars were originally painted with NYC style paint schemes. However, after the Terrorist Attack in NYC, Rockstar thought it would be in their best interest to give them the traditional black and white paint schemes. The vehicles still have Vector light bars though. = = = = = QUESTION: Where can I find the BF Injection? I went to Hepburn Heights, but it wasn't anywhere in site. ANSWER: Inorder for the BF Injection, which is just a Dune Buggy, to showup, you must have completed the "Sayanora Salvatore" mission from Asuka. Then the vehicle will show-up in Hepburn Heights Park between the hours of 1900-400. = = = = = QUESTION: Where's the Borgnine Taxi? How do I get it? Answer: The Borgnine Taxi will be parked at the Borgnine Taxi's building in Harwood. Inorder to obtain this vehicle, you must have 100 non-consecutive cab fares. = = = = = QUESTION: I've heard rumors about a lightless taxi (Has no light on roof). Does it really exist? ANSWER: Yes it does! There have been several unedited proof screen captures of this mysterious vehicle, even AlienLX obtained one. Alot of people think we are mistaking it for a yellow Sentinel, but come on you guys. Any idiot could tell the difference between the Sentinel and Taxi. :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (f) CREDITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.)
