===============================================================================
KEY:
BP = Bullet Proof
DP = Damage Proof (Doesn't damage out, doesn't take appearance damage.)
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.
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.

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.

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.

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
