87 Monte Carlo

So I was messing around the northern airstrip and found that they do have the wrecked version of the Sabre from GTA 4 in this game and it reminded me of this thread.

 

Too bad they don't have a drivable version of this car. It would find a place in my garage for sure.

The Sabre in GTA 4 was actually a Buick Regal. I miss that car soooo much.

Yeah, I know, but the G body Regal, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, and Grand Prix were more or less the same car. Back in the 80's GM was into recycling parts, and you were lucky if your favorite brand had anything unique. Another big one was the 82-92 Camaro and Firebird. Exact same car mechanically, same motor, trans, and all, had to share doors, and a few other odds and ends. The nose, and rear, and some of the interior were different, but that was all. But the biggest offender was Chrysler. The Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon came off the exact same assembly line, just one dude at the end would slap the Plymouth or Dodge emblems on it, no other difference.

 

Of all 80's G body cars, the Regal Turbo was king, beating even the Corvettes of the same year. I used to own an 84 Regal, but sadly it was a non turbo model.

 

Yeah, I'm kind of a car nut. I've owned many a sports/muscle car, and currently have an 86 Z28 that's a project I'm working on.

 

 

go back a little further and you have the charger, challenger and cuda. E bodies.
